"The result is the transformation of TV On The Radio from a startling experimental band into a pretty great groove band.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "TVOTR's mos accessible disc rolls out grand alt-funk and thwumping future funk that's warm and grabby...", "Restrained and elegant. There's a sense of nakedness here that renders its results more personal and directly affecting.", "Here they return to the earth's surface intact, with their eyes open to what's right in front of their faces....They want to be -- and have the chops to be -- all kinds of bands.", "LIGHT shines brightest when it mellows. On the soaring 'Keep Your Heart,' as the band tastefully freaks behind him, Adebimpe serenades a hookup like a dirty Dr. Strangelove..." -- Grade: B+, Ranked #17 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "The album Prince might make if he were a Brooklyn resident battling a broken heart.", "The track 'New Cannonball Blues' is propelled by an industrial-flavored throb. And TVOTR still knows how to kick up a rash of righteous (and melodic) noise..."
