Praise for DEAR SCIENCE: TV On the Radio's third album proper, managed to pull off something rather special: it boldly took guitars where no album had gone before. And it did so with more creativity, daring and flair than any record since Radiohead's OK Computer. – The Guardian Dear Science is a brilliant balancing act between pop aspiration and music-geek aesthetics.” Rolling Stone On "Dear Science," TVOTR embraces emotions of the here and now -- lust, anger, the dancer's bliss.” Ann Powers Los Angeles Times “Career-defining stuff.” The Guardian “Yes, this is shit-hot thrilling music. But it's also brainy and ambivalent, and more engaging for it.” Pitchfork “TV on the Radio traded its noisiness for clarity, the better to reveal the workings of its ambitious, multilayered songs: programming and hands-on playing, rock and funk, elegies and dance grooves, accusations and embraces. Each song follows its own idiosyncratic path from mourning to affirmation.” New York Times www.tvontheradio.com
