REVIEWS
90
BEATS PER MINUTE
It is a rare album that can cause a genuine swirl of emotions, sometimes within the same moment, but in the heat of August, The Rip Tide demands to be celebrated.
80
MUSICOMH
This is the most consistently impressive Beirut record yet.
80
DROWNED IN SOUND
The Rip Tide is neither a sandblasted version of Beirut, nor the band at their most idiosyncratic.
77
PITCHFORK
It's impressive that within five years and at such a young age, Condon's developed so quickly as an arranger and songwriter.
70
CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
What Beirut strive for and achieve on this record are simplicity and a slightly sunnier disposition.
50
POPMATTERS
By removing many of the worldly influences that made its early efforts so unique and refreshing, Beirut has fallen into a generic and uninspiring funk.
