    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]

    There’s still a solid core to Tomorrow’s Hits, one that cleans up the band’s talents and puts them on display in innovative songs. Unfortunately, for every look forward on Tomorrow’s Hits, there’s another one still stuck in the past.

    It may not be triple-album time for these guys yet, but they're working toward it.

    It all might sound like a terminal case of record-collector rock, but there's a charm and ramshackleness at work here that carry these old ideas with ragged verve.

    It's Springsteen, it's 70s soft-rock, it's sun-soaked Californian road trips.

    It makes for a focused, solid offering.

    Tame by their own high standards of disorder, this record's roomier, rootsier approach lands The Men at the left of the dial. [Feb/Mar 2014, p.73]

    An eight-song album that flounders too much in mid-tempo purgatory. [No. 107, p.55]

    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. Full Review »

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. Full Review »
