( 3 stories between 3rd February 2011 and 3rd February 2011 )Thursday Throwdown: Cold War Kids
Feb, 3 2011
This Thursday we bring you a throwdown between the music elite at Pitchfork and Clash Music over the newest release from the Cold War Kids, Mine Is Yours, which dropped on January 25th.
Pitchfork’s Zach Kelly gave Mine Is Yours a 3.9 out of 10, saying “…the presentation couldn't be any more comically bombastic and melodramatic,” and calling frontman Nathan Willett’s voice “an unlikable, smirky croon, made even more painfully noticeable when he's spouting out gems like, ‘It's a slippery slope, like that Mouse Trap game.'” According to Kelly, the record “ultimately exhausts itself trying to convince you it's not as empty as it actually is.”
While Pitchfork identifies this Cold War Kids effort as shallow, Clash Music’s John Freeman argues that it “digs deep into fractured relationships” and exudes evidence of “soul-searching” and “openness.” Freeman gave the record high 8 out of 10, saying Willett “has created the finest Cold War Kids album yet. Mission epically accomplished.”
