  1. 9.0 |   Punk News

    Memory cements that NO ONE can do what this trio does and, more than that, they’re doing it even better now then they were before

  2. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    It may look into the past, but the trio are not the same anymore both creatively and personally—and the time they took apart to explore other avenues works to their benefit

  3. 8.0 |   DIY

    ‘Memory’, is music for the love of it, and unabashedly so. You suspect it was every bit as much an unforeseen gift to Vivian Girls as it is to us

  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    Memory isn't just their best record, it makes good on all the promise they displayed early on and will hopefully shut their critics up once and for all

  8. 8.0 |   Northern Transmissions

  10. 7.3 |   Paste Magazine

    While this may not be their magnum opus, and they aren’t reinventing the wheel — or even trying to — Vivian Girls keep us wanting more than just a Memory, but a bright future full of raucous tunes.

  11. 7.3 |   Pitchfork

    On their first new album since 2011, Vivian Girls jump back into fried guitar, loose percussion, and fast and easy repetition, as if they’d simply woken up from an eight-year nap

  12. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Vivian Girls return with the predictable but charming Memory
