Foster the People have followed up their huge hit single "Pumped Up Kicks" with their debut album, Torches, and the rest of the album really follows suit. It's full of psychadelic, poppy tunes with heaps of synth, bass and some nice, strong beats. "Pumped Up Kicks", "Houdini" and "Miss You" are the best on the album, but in saying that, there really isn't a bad song on there. There a few songs, such as "Life on the Nickel", "Call It What You Want", "Don't Stop (Colour on the Walls)" and "Waste" that do have, for lack of a better word, awkward introductions, but these develop into some really catchy and original tunes. Foster the People have really done well in writing this record and bringing us one of the best albums of the year.
8.5/10
