I begrudgingly must say that this is a pretty good record. I am able to put my distain for Ms. Lewis aside as long as she never puts out another solo record.

im really into it so far, with the exception of the title track.

It's really not very good.

this band really meant a lot to me. i turned 21 at a rilo kiley show in chicago, and up until that point it was the best night of my life. take offs & landings & the execution of all things mended my broken little heart hundreds of times.
i was never as floored as i wanted to be by jenny's solo album. i dig the elected.. but...
i haven't made it through more than the first 30 seconds of the moneymaker video. this is not working for me.

Rilo Kiley has been my favorite band since I was first introduced to their music. I am very disappointed by this whole album. There was not one song I can say I like.

Having finally gotten a chance to sit down and listen to the new disc, I can concur that it doesn't strike me as an insta-love classic. I suppose the sound that Rilo Kiley has taken shouldn't be too surprising, though, considering the last Elected and the Jenny Lewis & the Thompson, er, Watson Twins albums. Obviously, the band wants to sound all polished and mature now, and it comes off sounding like 70's soft rock. Jenny Lewis - fortunately or unfortunately - has a voice built for just such a soft rock/country sound, so it only seems like a nature progressive. Maybe Under a Blacklight will grow on me some more, but watch out, because the Starbucks crowds are going to eat this alive!
