Apr 29, 2023Alvvays has such a specific style. With this album they elevate this shoegazey old timey sound with great production and catchy tunes. Love love love

Feb 14, 2023This was my favorite album of 2022. The hooks are catchy, the lyrics are characteristically weird put still poignant, and the production is amazing, especially the guitars and keys. Plus, Molly’s vocals bring the whole album to life like never before.

Nov 30, 2022The 14 tracks really will mesmerize my sonic experience as Alvvays have found a way to successfully inject their pop style into a shoegaze cloud that has resulted in one of the better albums released in 2022.

Oct 8, 2022A super blast of sugary yet tough showgazey goodness. It’s quite not as hooky as Antisocialites, but makes up for that with new textures and extra urgency. A welcome ray of sunshine for the autumn.

Oct 7, 2022Haven't really heard their other stuff but irrespective i consider this a phenomenal introduction! Blue Rev is a dizzying versatile explosion of power pop that doesn't so much reference than it does revitalize. Pushing it's genre and band further than they've been.

Oct 24, 2022Blue Rev is a slightly disappointing return from such a brilliant indie band.

Oct 18, 2022It’s not simply an incremental improvement. It’s a quantum leap. As far as third albums go, it’s their Forever Changes, Summerteeth, and The Meadowlands rolled into one. It really is monumental. ... It truly is one for the ages.

Oct 7, 2022A honed songwriting approach from Rankin seems to fuel Blue Rev, with only a few songs inching beyond three minutes. This excess-trimming approach makes Blue Rev the leanest the band has sounded, but also makes it their tightest work to date.
