All Music
It just might be enough to finally snag them some of the TRL success that many of their Chicago peers have already been enjoying.
-
BBC
Has the stench of a band whose progress and creativity has been stifled by marketing masterplans beyond their control. Best avoided.
-
Drowned In Sound
Nothing here has the nous or audacity to arrest the mind with even a smidgen of intrigue.
-
Greensboro New & Record
Truly worth listening to. This album is ideal for fans of Panic! At the Disco, Motion City Soundtrack, The Academy Is…, Jack’s Mannequin and Armor for Sleep.
-
Wales Online
Text book American college rock for the emo-pop punk generation. It’s pretty harmless stuff and does contain more than a few catchy songs, but about as nutritional as an Oreo cookie.
-
Lancashire Telegraph
It's the exception to a steady diet of McFly-like power pop which is great fun but not perhaps as original as you might hope.
-
Entertainment ie
Sees the Chicagoan quintet belt out a squall of mostly sub-three-minute pop-punk tunes that are irritatingly devoid of musical and lyrical diversity.
-
Manchester Evening News
Think Simon and Garfunkel meets The Smashing Pumpkins with a splash of punk and you have all the ingredients for a completely invigorating album.
-
Indie London
A fun, frivolous but largely forgettable listen
-
The Merciad
An exemplar of the musical talent the T’s possess
-
Stornoway Gazette
The major problem with the album is that it can't seem to make up its mind what it wants to be. Giving all the band members a chance to contribute has meant that the tone jumps all over the place, never allowing the listener to sit back and follow through a genre without being jarred out of it.
-
Domain Cleveland
Their sound is more than likely for the 18 and younger crowd and less likely for anybody old enough to go to a concert club and buy a few beers.
-
Contact Music
It is hard to see the Plain White T's being much more than a flavour of the month, though they won't disappear into complete obscurity either.
-
Luna Kafe
Goes through the motions but doesn't really do anything remotely interesting.
-
Pen to Paper Media
Lively and spirited and exhibit the band’s ostensible mantra of making the personal universal
-
Alt Press
There’s nothing on this new outing that’s of the same caliber as “Delilah,” or “All That We Needed.”
-
The Bolton News
I spend the rest of the album waiting for another hint of that Delilah moment. Sadly, it never appears.
-
Punk News
Even in a genre as welcoming to break through in as pop-rock, there's pitfalls to avoid, and Plain White T's step right into all of them.
