Heartthrob

"Det er (...) lykkedes Tegan og Sara at kreere et yderst gennemarbejdet synthpop-album, der bare strutter af mægtige melodier og strålende stunder, og som slet og ret byder på uimodståeligt iørefaldende numre på stribe - det er ømt og hårdtpumpet på samme tid, og det er i sig selv en flot bedrift".

"Here's why Heartthrob verges on a perfect pop record. Firstly it's only 37 minutes long and there's not a wasted moment. There is not an ounce of fat on here. All great pop albums should fit on one side of a C90. Tick. Secondly it's well aware of its influences and steals from the best: Eighties synths, Nineties attitude and a propelling twenty-first century drum sound combine like 1987 Prince making a Carly Rae Jepson album with lyrics by Paul Heaton and attitude by Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And under all of that, because this is Tegan & Sara after all, there's a soul".
