Endless Arcade might be an album of recalibration and evolution, but it’s also one that more than holds its own against the lofty peaks scaled earlier in their career. Let’s never take them for granted again

They are still growing, still evolving and still learning. Endless Arcade is a brave record by a brave band. There are few of Teenage Fanclub’s ilk

Topics may touch on self-doubt, the significance of civic responsibility and the not-inconsiderable values of being true to yourself and others, but it’s all squared with such uplifting melody lines it’s ridiculous to nitpick

Even though these songs find their writers in less-than-ideal places mentally, that state of mind doesn’t do a whole lot to change Teenage Fanclub in a significant way

The continued embracing of their natural musical maturity is producing some fine material. Still very much necessary and always welcome in this day and age

The Scottish band’s eleventh album feels uniquely pensive, even tentative. Nearly every song will have you humming along, though few seem designed to grab your attention

“Endless Arcade” is the kind of song that captures what it’s like to sort oneself out and the spectrum of emotions that come with it. It’s the kind of song that makes listeners thankful that Teenage Fanclub are still at it, 11 albums and counting
