3.5 great | Bedex | September 27th 21 | Granted I dont really remember much of the debut, but based on my soundoff this seems far more successful. Although some of the vocals do still sometimes sound a bit outdated, funny, or not that convincing one way or another, for the most part they work, and because the instrumentals are again strong on the whole, the tracks work more often than not. 1-2 feel like Xiu Xiu if they were less depressed and made popey rnbey stuff and if their vocals didnt suck as much, but it still feels like music I tolerate more than I enjoy. After that the run frmo 3-6 is a series of great, fun, 80s-infused synthpop tracks that really work and show Twin Shadow can craft great songs. If it werent for the only okay vocals these might be big bangers. 3 especially has lots of elements to it that are quite inspiring, but every one of those tracks is at least catchy. 7 returns to the slower style of 1-2, whilst 8 shows that the 80s synth aesthetic makes the slower tracks work a lot better than Xiu Xiu borecore. 9 is abit meh, 10 is a cute ballad I guess, and 11 is a cool track to close things up on a good note - though some of the midtrack vocals onwards are quite weak. 3.6

3.0 good | goingphishing | July 25th 12 | Twin Shadow is easily labeled a cult classic. His whispers are not for the casual listener, and the first pass is not always catching. You could define the sound as background filler, but George Lewis Jr. is so much more than that. Mood definitely drives his sound, but the emotion emitted from this album is something that was not seen on the debut 2010 album Forget. 'Run My Heart' leaves the listener disheartened, but the build up that follows will leave anyone satisfied with their purchase. rhttp://www.relix.com/reviews/cds/2012/07/10/twin-shadow-confess
