    My most anticipated album coming into 2014. After listening to the first album easily over 100 times from 2012-2014 and seeing a live show in Austin, I can say Allah-Las fall short of my expectations on their second album Worship the Sun. This album clearly falls short of Allah-Las' self titled first album. The album contains a mishmash of different sounding songs that don't feel entirelyMy most anticipated album coming into 2014. After listening to the first album easily over 100 times from 2012-2014 and seeing a live show in Austin, I can say Allah-Las fall short of my expectations on their second album Worship the Sun. This album clearly falls short of Allah-Las' self titled first album. The album contains a mishmash of different sounding songs that don't feel entirely necessary. I hear songs like Had it All and Every Girl which are clear throwbacks to the bands first album. They could, or should have added both of these songs as bonus tracks. If only Allah-Las had cut 3-5 songs off this album; and replaced one of Worship the Suns' boring instrumentals: Ferus Gallery, Yemeni Jade; with a song as strong as "Sacred Sands". The album feels like a random collection of pretty good songs and nothing more. Will not be purchasing the Vinyl, and most definitely will not be playing on repeat.

    There are individual songs that stand out on this album, and are still great additions to Allah-Las' tunes. That being said, I don't think any of the songs on Worship the Sun match the quality of tunes off the first album such as Busman's Holiday, Sacred Sands, Catalina, Seven Point Five, or Long Journey.

    Stand out songs:
    Artifact
    Recurring
    Follow You Down
    Better Than Mine
    No Werewolf    … Collapse

    Worship the Sun has the lemonade-y ambiguity of all good pop.

    Worship The Sun continues that approach, sounding more cohesive in the process. Somehow, though, it’s also more sluggish--their ‘60s indebted garage-rock drags where once it excited.

    Worship The Sun definitely won’t disappoint fans of their self-titled debut, and the extra production values only adds to their refreshingly carefree style. A perfect album to hang onto the last remnants of long, hazy summer days.
