  1. 8.0 |   Spin

    This record is killer. And they don't sound ready to give up just yet

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Effortlessly skips across sounds and styles like a human Wurlitzer. Print edition only

  3. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    Their familiar touch once again serves them well, though it does make for an album that sometimes feels too comfortable. Happily, Sound’s peaks are breathtaking and surprising

  4. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Imperial Teen have regularly delighted fans with their recorded material’s impish tendencies, and Feel the Sound is no exception

  5. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    A record rife with glorious hooks, harmonies, and heart

  6. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Feel the Sound turns blipping guitars and synth riffs into roller-skate jams the whole band can harmonize over
    Read Review

  7. 6.6 |   Beats Per Minute

    Feel the Sound is not a classic, it’s not a masterpiece, and despite its pristine delivery, it’s not perfect. But it is an honest and genuine sampling of a band who continues to subvert expectations

  8. 6.5 |   Prefix

    Feel the Sound will get you to do what its title implores, especially on standouts like "Runaway" and "Last to Know," but chances are it'll be on the stage where these songs truly come to life

  9. 6.2 |   Pitchfork

    It's not going to surprise anyone, least of all longtime fans, but it's not like there are dozens of similar acts around at the moment demanding your attention

  10. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    Surely they can’t keep doing what they’re doing forever, especially if the results are hit and miss

  11. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    If you’re looking for some mindless fluff to have a good time with, there are certainly worse albums than this one. It’s just that there are better ones too

  12. 6.0 |   Blurt

    It's only the music that matters and the urge to enjoy it couldn't be more compelling

  13. 3.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    Imperial Teen sound here like they’re trying to squeeze some new flavor out of a chewed-up piece of gum
