i mean, listening to this and listening to the first EP, it's obviously the same band. they have a unified sound no matter what. i don't really know what a lot of people are complaining about.

"The sound is so pop friendly it is embarassing". I hate this, people who think their music elitists because they shun anything that is mainstream or considered pop. Dude people who listen to "real music" or "good music" listen to anything no matter how many other people are listening to it or how "pop" it is (how is this album pop btw? reminds me of country rock more than anything) Why dont these people just listen to the albums they think are good? since they have no bussiness spluring their nonsense all over this albums shout box. Okay about the album. It's not my favorite but some of the tracks are solid. 1-4 and 6 (6 being one of the best rilo songs i've heard) are all great songs. :]

I admit that Under the Black Light is far inferior to RK's previous records, but that doesn't make it bad. It's more pop oriented for sure, but contains some solid tracks. I don't get why some people are automatically so harsh on pop music. Even though most of it is trash, I can recognize good pop when I hear it, and that's the case here. You're not gonna stop being cool if you listen to it, not even if you happen to enjoy it

I love this album. *shrugs* Can't stand Dejalo, but every album has a dud.

Chungyen - You're listening to boring indie music whether it's overproduced or not, no one gives a fuck about your conserving their artistic integrity - the absentee in the first place.

i think dreamworld it's amazing but yeah, this album is not their best (to say the least)

"Daniel-Jerome wrote: YAY! :D " Describes perfectly the new fanbase for Rilo Kiley.

So much trash. Anyone who says otherwise is a tool. The lyrics are shallow, nonsensical and stupid. The sound is so pop friendly it is embarassing. Jenny Lewis' voice is going to waste.

This album breaks my heart (and not in a good way)...with the exception of "Silver Lining"

I find this album very disappointing compared to their earlier albums. It's just *too* pop now... before they had good pop sensibilities, catchy tunes, but backed up with substance and good lyrics. If i didn't expect more from the band based on past experience, I'd have stopped listening to this after 2 or 3 songs. As it is, I heard the whole thing. Just one example - Dejalo sounds like a bloody Shakira song, and a mediocre one at that... Definitely their weakest album to date.

I don't know how you could say More Adventurous is more accessible. Under the Blacklight consists of songs that mean absolutely nothing, while all previous albums use wit and cleverness to tell a story. This one lacks all of that.

i'm not sure this album is more "mainstream" really. there's nothing really mainstream about a song like smoke detector, unless we're talking mainstream circa 1962. more adventurous is definitely their most accessible.

probably because it's...different...from their earlier albums, if you've heard them. rilo kiley used to sound more indie rock, and this album is very mainstream pop. (: it's still good but personally i prefer their earlier works.
