90
CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

Aside from being a top-notch album musically, it very well may be Lennox’s most accessible work to date.

90
NO RIPCORD

With Tomboy, Panda Bear offers a proverbial yet remarkably resonant and dense album.

85
PITCHFORK

He's condensed the sprawl and stylistic shifts of Person Pitch into seemingly tidy songs.

80
DROWNED IN SOUND

Here these 11 much shorter songs don’t so much buckle under Panda’s voice as become absorbed into it.

70
TINY MIX TAPES

With efforts like this one, Panda Bear and his coterie have established a genuinely avant-garde movement in America.

60
MUSICOMH

Tomboy not only lacks Animal Collective's recent experiments with rhythm and time, but also lacks the brilliantly designed balance and blend of Person Pitch.

60
POPMATTERS

He seems about half-awake, caught between the haziness of sleep and the defensiveness of waking life.
