    Too is a big, dumb-smart, happy-sad, universally-specific beast of a record, then.

    Further proof that Fidlar's headliner-destroying stint as the Pixies' opening act was no fluke. [No. 124, p.55]

    Too feels like a transitional record, but it’s also as trashy and as thrashy as they come.

    This quartet appreciates dynamics, surprise noises and curious structural diversions to go with the fury.

    Fidlar can still party; they just know they can't do it every night now. [3 Oct 2015, p.53]

    In shedding the shackles of expectation, FIDLAR finally found their soul.
  7. It’s to the LA based quartet’s endless credit then, that they manage to not only make their revamping of the sound fresh and funny, but poignant too.

    This second effort duly ushers in a greater sophistication, with near Kinksian observations of the waster mindset, set to a broader musical spread, laced with monster Who-y riffs and tinges of neo-psych. [Oct 2015, p.107]

    It’s a bold step away from the grimy surf-punk that made the band famous, but anyone who’s old enough to feel the buzz wearing off will be right there with Fidlar.

    Too is their leap into self-awareness and cheeky embrace. [Aug-Sep 2015, p.62]

    Catchy riffs and partying aside, this new FIDLAR record actually gets pretty deep.

    This new batch thrashes with abandon (“Punks”) and displays a remarkable leap in instrumental maturity with its airtight chord progressions and unhinged shrieks.

    Fidlar goes balls to the wall.

    A muddled record that thrills and distresses, equally, in short bursts.

    FIDLAR know the record’s subject matter has been a part of rock ‘n’ roll since long before they were born, but they seem content to put the same stamp others have on the situation.
