“When Jack Antonoff started Bleachers, writing songs in hotel rooms while on tour with fun. he openly admits he didn’t really know what he was doing. Despite that, debut album ‘Strange Desire’’s emotional, open approach and his ability to craft gigantic pop songs made him a cult star. Second album ‘Gone Now’ finds him more experienced, more confident, more in-demand and poised for very big things. ”
“Those who got on board with Strange Desire should have no problem connecting with the deep feels and big pop choruses that propel Gone Now.”
“Jack Antonoff’s stately sophomore effort as Bleachers has all the affectations of an over-the-top pop masterpiece, with some soaring anthems. But it’s a largely uneven album.”
