    Like Tiny Masters, these kids are at that enviable point when all this seems fresh and new. You can almost see the process of discovery burning brightly in their eyes. Skeletons perfectly captures that moment.
  2. New Musical Express (NME)

    So, though it’ll be a while before they shake off the inevitable age fixation, TMOT have produced an album that’s a stroke of genius regardless of age.

    Skeletons is more developed and more assured than their debut, but the band predictably has room for growth.
  5. The A.V. Club

    It’s short (11 songs in 26 minutes), produced on Garageband, and endlessly earnest throughout every bit of its electro-inflected garage rock.
  6. AllMusic

    It's this Grand Royal mish-mash style of mixing genres that makes this such a fun, cartoonish, joy ride.

This disc is a disgusting waste of space that reflects poorly on the judgment of those managing this site. And the idea of calling this punk makes me want to turn up The Sex Pistols to 11 and blow my ear drums out.… Full Review »
