  3. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    So it’s an oddly pointless record – but utterly lovely
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   The Observer

    Gorgeous
    Read Review

  12. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    With the zeal of archivists and a yen for experimentation, they have found strength in giving tribute to their influences, reaffirming the role of interpretation in contemporary music
    Read Review

  13. 7.8 |   Paste Magazine

    As a treat for the most passionate fans, it’s a winner, but by focusing on only one aspect of the band’s identity it doesn’t register as much as almost every other record they’ve ever released
    Read Review

  14. 7.5 |   The 405

    It's lovely to think that Yo La Tengo parse through their history as closely as their biggest fans do

    Yo La Tengo are music-geek lifers you can take home to Mom
    Read Review

  17. 7.0 |   NME

    Lovely, and quintessentially Yo La Tengo
    Read Review

  18. 7.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Keeping the surface changes minimal while gradually tweaking the tone of each song, Yo La Tengo manages to further their transparency and place the focus even more on the material
    Read Review

  19. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    There’s a late-night looseness to the project that’s appealing, if not necessarily consummated by revelatory performances
    Read Review

  20. 6.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    After 25 years, the band still has one key element in place: their undying fascination with and love for pop music
    Read Review

  21. 6.5 |   Under The Radar

    This is a band that has earned a permanent pass, and at the end of a long day, the friendliness and familiarity of this band's talent and heart are endlessly endearing
    Read Review

  22. 6.5 |   Crack

    A mix of heady ideas, a nod to Yo La Tengo’s 30-year evolution and a careful deconstruction of their influences and first-loves
    Read Review

    It’s impossible not to feel allured by YLT’s blissful comfort zone
    Read Review

  24. 6.0 |   The Independent

    A stopgap does what it’s supposed to yet again; slakes the thirst for a new album just as it necessitates it anew

Latest Reviews

Linkin Park  From Zero

An opinion-splitting return with soaring highs and disappointing lows Clash

Linkin Park  From Zero

Arguably rock’s biggest comeback album in recent history is an intriguing mix of sensational, knockout stadium rock and some perplexingly tired songwriting NME

Linkin Park  From Zero

Not every song is something to write home about, and not everyone is going to be on board with a new singer, but as a piece of work, it’s a clear reminder of why Linkin Park reached the heights they did and continue to influence multiple generations of artists Kerrang!
