    Tomorrow’s Hits doesn’t boom like The Men’s early material (namely, 2010’s Immaculada and 2011’s Leave Home), but it’s more rousing instrumentally than last year’s New Moon.

    Tomorrow’s Hits, is almost unfairly possessive of a foretelling title, seeing as how vanilla some of the songs can come off sounding. The record, however, is an accurate chronology of a working band’s prolific devotion to feeding the muse.

    The album is a well-written love letter to yesterday's rock & roll. Though this means the album's sound isn't nearly as revelatory as the sonic assaults of their earlier work, the Men continue to prove that, above all, they're a band that know what they're doing, even if they don't know what they're doing next.

    The majority of the tracks on Tomorrow's Hits feel like they were cooked in the backyards of Laurel Canyon with ambling rhythms, the lilt of lap steel guitar and an air of stoned desperation lingering over it all like smog. [Apr 2014, p.92]

    Those who love the group for their approach to melodicism and big hooks will find a lot to love about Tomorrow’s Hits, but those who still long for the group’s noisier days will only be further repelled and forced to stick with their first two albums.

    Settle Me Down is an elegantly executed ballad and Dark Waltz evokes Creedence Clearwater Revival at their finest, but the unspectacular Another Night gets bogged down in sub-Springsteen-isms. [May 2014, p.115]

    On Tomorrow’s Hits, we place our hands against the walls, we feel the familiar texture of recording studio foam, we lift ourselves up gently only to drop back down to the ground, actions of a bored child.

The Men's slow transformation into what can only be described as a classic rock band has been a wild and crazy ride, to say the least. The maniacs that made 2011's Leave Home made this?!? With relaxing Tom Petty grooves like "Settle Me Down" and "Sleepless"? With the jangle pop Bryds style "Get What you Give" and the Springsteen E Street homage "Another Night"? I never would have though The Men were capable of pulling this off, and doing better than almost any other band this decade so far. To listen to Tomorrow's Hits (which they very well may be) is to be jolted back to the mid 1970's when rock n' roll was much more simple, and when you didn't have a care in the world. Don't worry though, it's still the same band you have always loved as proved by the wild "Pearly Gates". It's a near flawless record.… Expand

What really hurts this album are the soft ballads that riddled their previous effort to it's early grave for me. At least there are less of the those here.… Expand
