SpinThe Thrills have matured into pretty crafty tunesmiths. [Nov 2007, p.125]
-
The band is in fine form, and the compositions are solid, but they seem like they’re covering the same ground, and the freshness of a debut is never sustained three albums on.
-
While at times fun and lovely, this release exemplifies the very treachery of maturing that it addresses with such earnestness.
-
The album gains little from the effects heaped upon it, but Teenager is able to escape being totally buried under them.
-
The results are hit-and-miss.
-
Teenager is as flat as the Mojave Desert, and, like a fusty pastel sweater bought as a birthday present, it's cosy yet bland.
-
Musically, their songs are too brightly bland, so obviously designed for mass consumption and uplift that the tinny guitars and twinkling piano melodies end up sounding cheap.
