Rolling Stone - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Toledo has a band now, and access to proper studios, so the sound is fuller and crisper. But the main difference is his voice, no longer muffled in effects but spitting out Moleskines-worth of pain, disgust, anger, confusion, and music-geek inside jokes with clarity and presence." Spin - "[I]t's fairly safe to say that the 12-track, 70-minute DENIAL is one of the most confident-sounding records ever made about depression, alcoholism, and self-defeat" Magnet - "These songs rock with a fuzzy-yet-clear intensity; they retain their DIY spirit, but the focus is sharper, as are the hooks, even when songs stretch past the seven-minute mark." Mojo (Publisher) - Ranked #24 in Mojo's 'The 50 Best Albums Of 2016' -- "[T]he songs' invention, depth and anthemic guitars suggest his story will be evolving and, yes, immense." NME (Magazine) - "Toledo's talent for writing melancholic slacker rock stands out immediately on boozy teen anthem `Destroyed By Hippie Powers'..." Paste (magazine) - "Will Toledo is the creative force behind this Bandcamp success story....His voice isn't shrouded by reverb and distortion, and his songwriting is crisp as can be." Pitchfork (Website) - "[F]rontman Will Toledo reaffirms that he is ahead of the pack as an imaginative singer-songwriter, capable of crafting dynamic indie rock."
