    L.A. Divine
    L.A. Divine is simply too rigid for Willett to shine. Joe Plummer, while undeniably talented, is a less subtle drummer than Matt Aveiro and locks Willett into predictable, percussive grids that give his voice a jarringly artificial, almost showtune quality.

    Borrell 1
    Musically confused, frequently lyrically painful (closer ‘Erotic Letter’ needs to be heard to be believed), its ego is so overpowering it ends up as a sweet relief against a backdrop of po-faced, fence sitting peers.

    Various Cruelties
    This eponymous debut is a well-rounded effort for a band that clearly has a knack for stadium-filling melodies and angst-ridden confessions. Anthemic in most parts and enjoyable in all, Various Cruelties deliver a debut that's moving and memorable.

    I Love You
    While they could go darker, grizzlier, or even shinier, I Love You achieves what few debuts can, by making one hell of an opening statement.

    In a Perfect World
    This is boy band material dressed up in an indie band’s clothes.
    • 46 Metascore

    Chapter 1: Snake Oil
    The result is still just a big, slick, debatably-decent pop record.

    We Met At Sea
    Lyrically it is definitely awful.

    Kiss Full of Teeth
    Levine has done a wonderful job of creating a work whose humble beauty easily can captivate you if you let it.

    Other Voices [EP]
    Simple, catchy, and ruthlessly energetic, it’s an irresistible mix, and refreshing to hear a band oozing with such raw passion.
