    The Temples show some pretty good appreciation and a attempt at psychedelic Rock and Pop here, but the band really fails to deliver any interesting instrumentation, performances or ideas. I'd recommend sticking with Tame Impala for your psychedelia fix. Middle of the road overall.

    The album's second half gets weighed down with too many overlong songs that wander into the weeds.

    Temples aren’t reinventing anything here so much as adding a distinctly British twist to well-trodden ground.

    What Sun Structures lacks is a bit of fire in its belly. [Mar 2014, p.109]
