CRITIC REVIEWS

75
A.V. Club

Love Sign is a power-pop throwback that’s entertaining as well as indistinctive.

70
Consequence of Sound

For a record that never tries to be anything more than a fun rock ‘n’ roll adventure, Love Sign strolls out unscathed. 

60
No Ripcord

While some songs are definitely catchy, the entire album feels like one quick sugar rush that is gone as soon as the last note fades. 

60
Under the Radar

It's rare that any of these cuts reach the ecstatic heights of their 2010 debut, Stuck On Nothing

Free Energy can put a damn pop hook together—problem is the execution

50
PopMatters

Free Energy just doesn’t seem to have the chops to rise above their influences.

36
Pitchfork

Love Sign's belief in the righteousness of its intentionally big, dumb songs being big, dumb and nothing else ultimately sets Free Energy up to fail.

My only real problem with Love Sign is that there's nothing to hold onto, nothing that truly catches the ear or entices you to listen again. There's nothing truly memorable about it, and even though it tries to be very cool, it only succeeds at not being much of anything.
