  1. 10.0 |   The Skinny

    Palms use their pedigree to avoid any obvious moves throughout this gloriously cathartic offering

  2. 9.0 |   musicOMH

    A really quite extraordinary piece of work

  3. 9.0 |   God Is In The TV

    A fresh, refreshing take on the post-metal genre. Stunning, inspirational stuff
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   Q

    Palms is a heavy, explorative listen. At times, it's dreamy and chiming, at others dark and powerful. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   All Music

    For fans of the members' other groups, Palms' debut is an easy recommendation that will leave listeners enjoying the similarities and getting lost exploring the differences

  6. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    Moreno continues to prove he has a lot left to offer as a songwriter and Palms merely serves as another confirmation of this fact

  8. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    A pleasant, breezy, subdued album
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Palms is best at its tightest, but is perhaps a tad messier than it really needs to be
    Read Review

  10. 6.5 |   Pitchfork

    Palms is so entrenched in a specific mood that the songs themselves become interchangeable

  11. 6.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    It’s a solid start from this supergroup, but the tug of old strings still dominates proceedings a little too much to mark this out as anything wholly unique in itself
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Even in this not-quite realized state, Palms gives more than a few indications that there could be more on the sun-stroked horizon for these guys

  13. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The members’ former bands don’t define Palms — and that’s a good thing
