3.0 good | Benjamin Kuettel EMERITUS | February 10th 16 | While Life of Pause perhaps lacks as much depth as Wild Nothing's previous releases, this is still a fairly enjoyable and blissfully nostalgic sounding record. The songwriting and lush production job channels the likes of Slowdive and The Cure in the best ways. "Life of Pause," "Alien," and "To Know You" is perhaps the band's finest trifecta of songs yet. Overall this is a fun, diverse dream pop record that deserves multiple listens to fully sink in and appreciate.

3.0 good | gryndstone | February 9th 16 | With each listen this gets less appealing. The shorter, poppier tracks are done well, but other tracks spend too much time going nowhere in particular.

4.5 superb | Yonnycage | February 10th 16 | Jack Tatum has an incredibly diverse range of influences and this release reinforces that. Clear references to 80's pop shine through most of this album and there are even a couple nods to his older, more laid back songs to be found. "A Woman's Wisdom", "Japanese Alice", "Life of Pause", "Alien", "Adore" and "Whenever I" are must listens.
