On Side Effects, Austin's White Denim continue to mine an odd combination of retro styles to create a record that is wildly and refreshingly unpredictable.
80
Side Effects is playful and experimental while paying tribute to the band’s live shows and their own history.
80
Essentially, Side Effects showcases White Denim's knack for making '60s- and '70s-style psychedelic garage rock that feels authentic but retains the modern punk energy that made their early albums so engaging.
70
Side Effects may be a perfect introduction to the unfamiliar listener: a loose combination of the many styles and affectations White Denim have to offer, all wrapped up in a tight 30 minutes.

Side Effects is enjoyable, with inspired moments and a consistently danceable feel ... Sometimes, though, it lacks the drive that reveals itself in the sparkliest songs.
60
Ultimately ... ‘Side Effects’ lacks cohesion as a result of the sheer number of ideas jammed into it.
60
This is an absolute delight for a fan, but hard to recommend for anyone else.

White Denim have evolved into something of a left-field institution, pumping out wired guitar music that oscillates between exhilarating math-rock and machine funk boogie.

‘Side Effects’ feels more like a collection of demos than a coherent album.
Well I have been waiting for this since January, but I was afraid that the short time since their last album and this one make this album underrated, maybe for the critic it is. I thought that I wouldn't see the differences between both but Side effects has an independent soul, a new sound more electronic, more experimental, samples and little arrangements that make it a fresh and very enjoyable album. White denim is a very trustrly band
not my favorite release by them, but that being said White Denim are still killing the game.
