    It's nice to have the Posies back in the studio again, but Every Kind of Light isn't the triumphant return fans might have hoped for.

    While they once sounded behind the times, they now sound outside time, with songs evoking about 30 years of guitar pop, in the vein of R.E.M. and Fountains of Wayne, though nowhere near as original. [Aug 2005, p.113]

    Despite the one or two stabs at youthful exuberance evident here, this is an AOR album through and through.
  5. Under The Radar

    This disarming variety may leave you wishing they had made three different reunion albums rather than one. [#10, p.113]
