    Spring King might have plenty of bangers, but they should switch up their MO more often.

    Inevitably for a debut album, Tell Me If You Like To leans heavily on the singles already released--Demons, Who Are You?, Rectifier, The Summer and Detroit, which is a lot of previously released material for a 10-track, 36-minute album--but it’s all delivered with intensity.

    It's an enjoyable debut, but a few more surprises like [a saxophone solo in Who Are You] would've helped mix things up. [#361, p.115]

    Spring King are at their restless best when Musa--who sometimes vomits on and just-offstage from exhaustion--sounds uncomfortable.

    Disposable lyrics and an overly polished sound doesn’t necessarily mean that this is a bad album, though--it’s not, although it is likely to get lost in the midst of this year’s more thought-provoking and risk-taking albums.
