With its lush layers and shoegaze indie sound, You Can’t Take it With You forecasts clear skies for the guys.
-
You Can’t Take It With You sounds like a proper album par excellence, gelling together with a cohesiveness so many strive for but never really hit.
-
Alternative PressIt's dizzyingly brilliant, and evidence of how tall these Lions have grown. [Sep 2009, p.102]
-
Throughout, You Can't Take It with You represents the sound of a band striking a delicate balance between emotional directness and artful experimentation.
-
The album has its moments, like a nice surprise bridge toward the end of the title track and the slowly building, percussive arc of “Circles.” But You Can’t Take it With You just fails to make a strong case for itself.
-
As overblown as You Can't Take It With You is musically, Nigro's not one to be upstaged by guitar pedals.

This loss of focus characterizes You Can’t Take It With You. While As Tall As Lions are affected deeply by the weight of the world, they’re too flustered to make sense of it all.
