"After a solid run of albums that showed growth each time, Future Islands explode into greatness on their fourth album, and first for 4AD ... Streamlining their synth-heavy, experimental, almost danceable sound of the past into something laser-focused, new wave familiar, and very, very immediate, the album is a great leap forward that's filled with intensely catchy songs and allows vocalist Samuel T. Herring to shine like the star he's always been".
