  2. 9.0 |   Clash

    This is one of modern rock’s very best kept secrets at their peak, a band on the brink of sold-out stadiums

  3. 9.0 |   Under The Radar

    In lesser hands it’d be a slog of a hodgepodge. But with musicians as accomplished, daring, and pop savvy as this (and let’s not forget their good taste in influences), I Quit hardly shows a seam. If anything, it’s further proof that HAIM is the most thrillingly versatile band working today

    I Quit subtly pushes their boundaries. Print edition only

  8. 8.0 |   NME

    The sisters’ fourth album is set at a crossroads in the grieving process. But it never dwells on despair
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   Dork

    ‘I quit’ is a record that’s fallen straight out of 1977, bringing in whispers of Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young and Gloria Gaynor: one or two more daring decisions and it would be truly great

  10. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    On their fourth album I quit, HAIM are all about reclaiming their space and striking out on their own

  11. 8.0 |   Northern Transmissions

    It’s nice to have them back and even nicer to feel that they have our backs when we go through another break up
    Read Review

  12. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    The title “I Quit” implies resignation, but throughout the record, Haim eschew a former glossiness and recommit to their signature moody rock sound
    Read Review

  13. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Danielle Haim’s had her heart broken, and you’re going to hear all about in the sisters’ wonderfully vituperative songs
    Read Review

  14. 8.0 |   The Independent

    The three sisters from the Valley reclaim quitting as an empowered act – and that includes shedding past sounds, not just exes
    Read Review

  15. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    This break-up album (but not as we know it) is comfortably familiar while hinting at an intriguing new direction
    Read Review

  16. 8.0 |   Rolling Stone

    The sister trio’s fantastic new I Quit is a cathartic concept record about hard-won independence
    Read Review

  17. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Rarely works up a sweat yet maintains a jiggling, low-level funk
    Read Review

  18. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    May not be the band at their peak, but it’s a necessary step to close one chapter of their career and find their way to the next. It leaves listeners with the sense that HAIM is going to rise from the ashes of what didn’t serve them, onto bigger and better things

  19. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    If Women in Music Pt. III cracked the door open, I quit stands in the threshold, taking stock of what's worth carrying forward
    Read Review

  20. 7.0 |   Pitchfork

    Haim break free from the shackles of whatever and cruise right down the middle of the road
    Read Review

  21. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    It may not hit the highs of their earlier work with quite the same force, but it doesn’t need to – if it ain’t broke, HAIM aren’t trying to fix it
    Read Review

  22. 7.0 |   God Is In The TV

    By contemplating the past, Haim are reformulating their future
    Read Review

  23. 6.6 |   Spectrum Culture

    It’s easy to wonder if the soft-rock trio’s fourth record would be better if it were just a few songs — or, ideally, about 10-15 minutes — shorter
    Read Review

  24. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    The three LA sisters dwell on the bitter end of a relationship in tracks that range from replayable valley-girl rap to plodding country-pop
    Read Review

  25. 6.0 |   Record Collector

    The mid-tempo results and on-the-nose lyrics can wear thin over 15 tracks, but Haim's melodic ease provides fitful featherweight uplift. Print edition only

  26. 6.0 |   Slant Magazine

    The trio seems torn between embracing mainstream pop or following their bolder instincts
