  1. 9.0 |   PopMatters

    Long Slow Dance will surely turn heads and will make the debate for the best rock record of 2012 now a much more interesting one

    Read Review

    One for the long haul rather than instant gratification
    Read Review

    A strong garage pop album with some incredibly catchy songs
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Blurt

    A schizophrenic album, at times frustratingly so. Yet it has its redemptive elements
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The Fresh & Onlys are a significant and highly-skilled band, but one still with a lot of growing to do despite their deep discography
