  1. 10.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    It’s like they’ve never given a thought to what might be good or bad about that. They’re slaves to the groove. They can’t help it
    Read Review

  2. 9.0 |   Uncut

    Has that neatly tailored raggedy Replacements vibe from the get-go. Print edition only

  3. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A record full of brilliant playing, solid gold songs and most importantly it feels like an honest assessment of where The Men are right now as a band and as individuals

  4. 8.3 |   Paste Magazine

    Brooklyn’s The Men have made a fairly dramatic transformation from their inception as a contemplative noise-rock amalgam into their current incarnation as a kind of freewheelin’ power-rock pop crew with a penchant for the Grateful Dead.

  5. 8.0 |   The Music

    They do whatever they damn well please – and do it damn well
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It's reassuring to know that, whether crafting the hits of today, tomorrow or yesterday, The Men occupy a space all their own, a small peculiar universe as wonderfully dated as it is timelessly theirs
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   NME

    Rock gets a melodic rewiring courtesy of Brooklyn's wildest blue-collar bar band. Print edition only

  8. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    The Men have clearly reached the level where they can turn their hand to anything and, once again, it has worked a treat

  9. 8.0 |   Spin

    Given the stylistic zig-zagging, the Men can't claim a master plan, apart from keeping themselves entertained, which should suffice. For them, and for us

  10. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    A few more thorny elements—noisy vestiges of The Men circa the distant past of 2010—would have made for a livelier listen. But at its best, Tomorrow’s Hits nails the new-traditionalist sweet spot.

  11. 7.4 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    Tomorrow’s Hits is absolutely and unabashedly a dated rock ‘n’ roll fantasy
    Read Review

  12. 7.2 |   Pitchfork

    Tomorrow’s Hits for now mostly succeeds in toeing the line between being on a roll and being in a rut
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   Beardfood

    It's fast and insistent, and once it takes off there's little you can do to stop it
    Read Review

  14. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    Those who love the group for their approach to melodicism and big hooks will find a lot to love about Tomorrow’s Hits, but those who still long for the group’s noisier days will only be further repelled and forced to stick with their first two albums

  15. 6.7 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    We’ve come a long way from Leave Home, but whether or not that’s a positive development I leave to the individual listener’s good judgment

  16. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    It may not be triple-album time for these guys yet, but they're working toward it
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   The List

    The Brooklyn outfit create an authentic tribute to classic American rock
    Read Review

  18. 6.0 |   The Quietus

    An easy album to admire – this is The Men stretching out and aiming for new targets – but a difficult one to fall in love with
    Read Review

  19. 6.0 |   The Observer

    There's a charm and ramshackleness at work here that carry these old ideas with ragged verve
    Read Review

  20. 6.0 |   DIY

    They're showing signs of being buried deep in the Great American Songbooks of yore. It's Springsteen, it's 70s soft-rock, it's sun-soaked Californian road trips
    Read Review

  21. 6.0 |   Clash

    ‘Tomorrow’s Hits’ finds them genre-hopping again, as they did on both 2012’s ‘Open Your Heart’ and 2013’s ‘New Moon’. It makes for a focused, solid offering
    Read Review

  22. 6.0 |   Q

    Polished set of Americana from sometime punks. Print edition only

  23. 5.5 |   Under The Radar

    It's not a new deal—a bit of the raw power in exchange for some songcraft. Sometimes it's a shame, but sometimes, this time, it's something worth exploring
