Q MagazineFeb 4, 2014It's only on a frazzled but euphoric Raise Your Head that DeLaughter achieves the sonic rapture the Spree promised from the outset. [Oct 2013, p.109]
-
MojoSep 20, 2013The continuing resemblance of their lyrics to motivational speeches may still grate on non-fans. [Oct 2013, p.88]
-
Aug 5, 2013As ever, their relentless chirpiness can grate, but the orchestral indulgence has been pared back, giving ringleader Tim DeLaughter’s songwriting room to breathe.
-
Aug 7, 2013Yes, It's True has interesting moments, but ultimately makes for an insubstantial and at times deeply vapid experience.
-
Aug 19, 2013While it’s likely to be the most enthusiastic record you hear all year, Yes, It’s True is probably the band’s weakest album yet.
-
Aug 7, 2013The album's charms are entirely rooted in the familiar, and while that makes it go down smoothly, it doesn't give one any reason to listen again once the last notes fade away.
-
Aug 6, 2013On record Yes, It's True feels insubstantial, which is disappointing because when they don't go overboard they can still craft interesting music.
-
Aug 5, 2013All DeLaughter is left with is this record of weak dos and strong don’ts. DeLaughter can live in the past, but he certainly can’t recreate it.
-
Sep 9, 2013Yes, It’s True starts out along a rather pedestrian path of nod-along rock-by-numbers.
-
Aug 8, 2013An inconsistent collection of life-affirming pop that lurches uncomfortably like a 50-year-old twerking at a bar mitzvah.
-
Aug 5, 2013Unlike Rubble Guts & BB Eye, Yes, It’s True never surprises itself with its own excitement.
