Any apprehensions about whether or not Cults could turn “Go Outside” into a successful full-length should be hastily put to rest.
It executes what it sets out to do masterfully while allowing the group room to grow and mature.
They're writing universal, arms-wide melodies for anyone who cares to lend an ear.
This initial effort is one that shows off strong enough pop chops to win them their fair share of true believers, now and hereafter.
For a debut album, it works, giving fans a taste of what to expect from Cults in the future.
The debut album mostly sidesteps the too much, too soon concern by clinging to tried-and-true vintage sounds and pop melodies the way a toddler clings to his blankie.
