VIMTV Episode #267: Cold War Kids – Mine Is Yours

Jake: Recommended, 68/100

Tom: Recommended, 66/100

Overview: To us, Mine Is Yours is a classic example of an album with some really strong tracks and some really poor filler. The vocals are well-performed throughout, but the lyrics are pretty bad at times, and the instrumentals certainly aren’t bad, but just aren’t outstanding. Overall, a decent album with some great moments but a lot of room for improvement.
