PITCHFORK
Belong is a bigger, bolder, and brighter follow-up that adds new dimensions to the Pains' sound while nearly equaling the songwriting of their debut.
80
CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
Belong, though certainly louder and bolder than its predecessor, is still indubitably Pains.
80
POPMATTERS
Belong is a concept album about the struggle to make eye contact with someone who you’re think is unaware of your existence.
80
NO RIPCORD
Belong is big, bombastic, excited — this is a band that has hit a rich vein of form, and when everything comes together properly, it’s stellar.
60
TINY MIX TAPES
Belong is less front-loaded than the eponymous debut, and it feels less half-assed or amateurish.
