New Musical Express (NME)It's essentially more of the same kickabout beach-pop that Brian Wilson might have sounded like if he'd listened obsessively to '80s indie legends Felt while he was plaing in his sandpit. [1 Jul 2006, p.36]
-
On Three's Co., Rademaker's songwriting has matured, which combined with the bigger production, makes for a thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying listen.
-
It's consistently catchy, and produced with a broad enough vision so that it doesn't get repetitive.
-
Effortlessly shimmering, breezy guitar pop.
-
SpinBright, anxious pop-rock melodies that pulse with a geeky charm. [Sep 2006, p.114]
-
MagnetThough there's plenty of wit... to go along with copious amounts of jangle, twang and... Brian Wilson-esque sweep, there's often an overriding, wistful sadness mixed in with the Left Coast hedonism. [#73, p.106]
-
Mojo[Their] irony is especially trying when it infects the music. [Jul 2006, p.110]
-
Uncut[They] now sound more immediate, but seem to have forsaken some of their delicacy for caffeinated fuzz-pop, minus hooks. [Jun 2006, p.120]
-
UrbThough varying little from past Tyde albums, Three's Co. is a welcome tribute to summer. [Sep 2006, p.139]
-
Like its predecessors, Three's Co. mixes the sun-soaked power pop proclivities of Teenage Fanclub with the sylvan jangle of Felt, though the Tyde too often seem afraid to really make waves.
-
Three’s Co. offers enough “new stuff” to ward off complacency (and criticisms thereof) while further strengthening the sonic and lyrical groundwork the band has already laid.
-
It's end-of-summer music.
-
Under The RadarWhile the guitars shimmer, and there’s a pretty little keyboard solo, the vibe he’s attempting to rouse ends up stale. [#15]
-
[Its] strongest songs more than compensate for the few lapses in songwriting found elsewhere.
-
It’s a trad, tried, and tested sound that they truck around town, exemplified by guest appearances by Conor Deasy of The Thrills and, a little more inexplicably, Maroon 5’s bass player. It’s the middle ground bewteen these two groups which The Tyde occupy.
-
At the end of it all, you realise there's really nothing here.
-
Q MagazineThere's nothing new here. [May 2006, p.131]
