  1. 9.1 |   A.V. Club

    In addition to being a powerful examination of self-worth and how it tends to wither beneath the responsibilities of adulthood, the record is also a testament to the band’s growth musically and thematically

    Read Review

  4. 9.0 |   Gig Soup

    Thoughtful, brilliant and an excellent development of Modern Baseball's interesting and modern take on life
    Read Review

  5. 9.0 |   Clash

    Not a band to rest on their laurels, Modern Baseball have grown and matured alongside their fans, and the genre itself

  6. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    It’s never depressing or dull, and the tunes are sharply honed. Pop-punk may finally be (gulp) growing up

  7. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    These are songs made by early twenty somethings for early twenty somethings, taking things at a measured pace and taking their common peers with them. And that’s something no self-help book can teach

  11. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Structured, cohesive and pointed

  12. 7.7 |   Pitchfork

    Demonstrates them as a band with an undeniable sonic ambition and social conscience

  13. 7.0 |   Beardfood

    For 27 minutes bask in the frenetic pace of life
    Read Review

  14. 7.0 |   Spin

    By far, the band’s tightest, catchiest endeavor to date
    Read Review

  15. 7.0 |   All Music

    The sincerity that initially won Modern Baseball so many of their fans remains one of their biggest assets, and it's still very much a presence on Holy Ghost

  16. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    It’s true that each individual Modern Baseball song encompasses massive highs and lows, but reproducing that feeling across a composed album could only heighten that

  17. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Because of its unusual structure, Holy Ghost rarely manages to play to all of its strengths at once
