  1. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Shout Out Louds have constructed an album with a distinct sound and identity—finally establishing that elusive “Shout Out Louds sound”

  2. 8.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Shout Out Louds may have chosen to call this album Work, but rest assured that listening to it is pure pleasure

  3. 7.0 |   Blurt

    I think this band has a classic in them and none of the three records, while all very good, have hit that mark yet. I'll bet record number four will take over small countries

  4. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A record where the band sounds at their most comfortable. After multiple listens, the instantly gratifying singles are over-shadowed by their more mature, more considered company

  5. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    The sonic references keep on coming throughout Work, but great songs do too

  6. 6.0 |   No Ripcord

    ...is a totally fine record for fans of indie-pop. But for a band like Shout Out Louds, a band that has it in them to really move people, “fine” really isn't enough

  7. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    The third album from the Stockholm quintet brilliantly works a classic indie look: airy, sleek, gingerly heroic guitar zone-outs about a love-starved dude's battle against emotional torpor

  8. 5.4 |   Pitchfork

    Work finds these former Next Big Things railing against maturity while tacitly embracing it

  9. 5.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    ...it's difficult to shake the overall sense of mediocrity, even with the occasional moments of unbridled enjoyment. Not that the band fails to prove their worth; there are certainly worse fates than being an inimitable singles act

  10. 5.0 |   musicOMH

    Work is by no means a bad album; it's just a disappointing one

  11. 4.0 |   Under The Radar

    Shout Out Louds have a gift for melody, and they use a light pop touch better than many. But after their masterwork, one expects more than 10 easygoing melodies
