  1. 9.0 |   The Music

    Tasmania is an intimidating work of art

  2. 8.0 |   NME

    Those Tame Impala comparisons should be finally washed away by this campy collection of psych-rock belters. This is a timely, record, too, given our current apocalyptic weather conditions

  3. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    An unpredictable and exciting record flowing with psychedelia and funk-driven basslines, Tasmania is a true reflection of what makes Pond so great

  4. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    One that takes listeners temporarily on a flying journey through the galaxies. Both an ephemeral departure from the climate change problems at home and a belated appreciation of the beauty that surrounds us

  5. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Showcases a band capable of innovating, pushing themselves and experimenting eight albums deep to come up with an album more than worthy of praise

  6. 7.5 |   Pitchfork

    The eighth album from the Australian psych-rockers is their most melodically realized of their career. The strains of pop offer a lovely imprint of a band in a constant state of flux

  7. 7.5 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Pond have come into their own on Tasmania, forming a true expression that stands out among their discography

  8. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    Despite such thematic concerns the album never feels like it is delving into preach-mode

  9. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    Despite some excellent high points, Tasmania appears jumbled as a whole and there are too many tracks that just don’t hit the bullseye for it to be upheld as the best Pond have recorded

  10. 6.0 |   The 405

    Pond continue to give things the old college try, and Tasmania is never grating or insulting. The problem is that they don’t go far enough in one particular artistic direction to make it more memorable than their last few records

  11. 6.0 |   DIY

    Beneath all the superfluous sonic meddling it’s still a voyage worth beholding
