CRITIC REVIEWS

70
Pitchfork

Caveman isn’t short on efforts to move the band’s sound into uncharted territories. It's the first release for the band as an “all in” musical endeavor and it definitely feels that way.

70
AllMusic

The songs don't stand out as much themselves as they do blur into a wintery whole, creating an environment of subtle experimentation and daydream-like dynamics.

70
Under the Radar

One downside to Caveman is that there is not much variety in the proceedings. But what Caveman does, it does well, and its sophomore album hits all the right notes 

60
PopMatters

Putting that whole “‘sophomore slump” idea to bed, Caveman have managed to outdo themselves by crafting an engrossing, catchy album that’s worthy of a respectably larger audience. 

40
Consequence of Sound

As they turn their focus away from guitars, Caveman crash right into the problems that plague too much guitar rock: a lack of dynamics or surprises, a blurry identity, and a surfeit of Radiohead runoff.

30
No Ripcord

Despite the group’s attention to detail, it’s really difficult to find anything within Caveman’s dull, predictable environments that allows it to stand out from their fellow bandwagoning Brooklynites.

I cannot understand why have such a low rating.
