Sep 25, 2014Too Bright boasts harder-hitting lyrics, more sophisticated arrangements, and his best-fitting production yet. Its musical successes are obvious in their immediacy and variety.
-
Sep 24, 2014Despite its heightened complexity, Too Bright still fosters an intelligible world where Hadreas can bridge the distance between his vulnerability and self-assuredness.
-
Sep 25, 2014Glittered with transcendent brilliance, gilded shadows do not hide the empowered dramatic turn of Perfume Genius’s Too Bright.
-
Sep 22, 2014The material more than matches the ambition on these 11 bewitching songs.
-
Oct 30, 2014As with many works that get tagged as major breaks from an artist’s established work, truthfully much of Too Bright still feels very much like the work of the Perfume Genius, and anyone looking for more of what they got from past albums will be very satisfied.
-
Sep 30, 2014Equally bold, vulnerable, concise, and expansive, Too Bright dazzles.
-
Sep 22, 2014Nothing here sounds revolutionary or even especially distinctive, but Hadreas has successfully conceived of a new context for his raw lyrical approach, opting for a jagged, complex collection of bedroom pop over another sparsely appointed set of torch songs.

Sep 28, 2014Not a rip off, but very close to the great Mark Hollis. So, not as original as someone might think. PG is largely overrated. It's just a decent album.
