    For better or worse, this album is polished and mature -- words that never would have described Cold War Kids' music before.

    Former soul-punks return with rough edges removed and hearts on sleeves. [Feb. 2011, p. 99]

    After uniting with Kings of Leon/Modest Mouse vet Jacquire King, the band has emerged with a set that's more inviting than its first but just as catchy.
