    Cults still aren't as easy to pin down as might be expected, but To the Ghosts reflects how they've endured without compromising the innocence and artful popcraft at the heart of their sound.

    To the Ghosts finds them in their most solid and mature form to date.

    To the Ghosts both romanticizes life and love while also providing a reality check that is much needed and somehow manages to be jarringly comforting. The album showcases all that we have come to know and love about Cults, while also allowing them to explore other sides of their creativity.

    Five albums in, Cults sound just as eerie and cheery as ever but struggle to transcend the fleeting pleasantries of paint-by-numbers pop.

    The problem with To The Ghosts is, that as nice and pleasant as it all sounds, it does tend to float by without leaving much of an impression. Sometimes, it threatens to push the envelope a bit.
