CRITIC REVIEWS

75
The 405

He's said that he "imagined kids losing their shit on a massive scale, all feeling the same thing at once," and the new material sounds like it will do just that.

No Ripcord

Ultimately, Dinosaur Pile-Up have followed up a very solid debut with another commendable effort that plays to their fundamental strengths, but incorporates a newfound translucency, a barrage of infectious melodies, and more hooks than a witch’s cloakroom.

65
The Line of Best Fit

Dinosaur Pile-Up remain as lovable as ever but, oddly, considering their position, they appear determined to remain unambitious and, therefore, are in danger of becoming irrelevant.

60
NME

Without the youthful abandon of 2010 debut ‘Growing Pains’, tracks such as ‘White T-Shirt And Jeans’ lack a certain euphoric rush. 

50
DIY

The fact is though the album is too forced and indebted to its influences to be natural and too often poorly executed and structured to be nurtured.

Out of all of the bands out there that try to pay homage to Nirvana in some way, this band is the first one that I've heard that does it right. Fuck ya to these guys. Way too underrated, one of the most fun bands out there right now. Keep rocking.
