Liars is an ingenuous reflection of a band in total control of their wild creativity. |

Far more accessible than anything the act have produced in recent years, Liars shifts perceptions in the way most have come to expect, but with the dense conceptual themes and boundaries limited it is as if they have met most listeners halfway only to lure them back into their own sordid comfort zone, littered with the contents of a fifteen-year-old's bedroom. |

If it doesn't quite confound like "They Were Wrong" or thrill like "Drum's Not Dead," Liars still finds the band ignoring whatever you thought you wanted or needed from them, and doing what they damn well please. |

As it stands, Liars is an appropriately titled, highly worthwhile piece of work that the band and any of its fans should be extremely proud of. |

You could accuse Liars of abandoning all of their high-art concepts and otherworldly thoughts so they could secure their place on a tour of America's enormodomes with Interpol. Well, you could if this album wasn't so perfect. |

Liars might not be as singular as the band’s past albums, but even a relatively normal outing from these guys is still a puzzle that takes time to solve. Rest assured, it’s time well spent. |

Too cool for school? Maybe. But if Liars aren’t anybody’s idea of easy listening, by gum, they’re never dull, and for that, we salute them. |

Liars is all about that Liars blueprint, and in that sense the album can get redundant. |

The lack of a unifying theme on this particular album leaves their past influences far downstream and without a paddle. |

They have built up a group of songs so restless and unsatisfying that a group of teenagers with the proper training could have made them, or likely something better. |

Numera berlinbaserade Liars fortsätter experimentera sig bort från den dansiga punkfunken och mot postpunken. Jag antar att de vill låta lika coolt aviga som Sonic Youth och The Jesus... |

Så sent som för bara en vecka sedan såg jag Liars sångare Angus Andrew på scen i Londons Victoria Park – nyrakad, i artig sidbena och vit kostym. Förra gången jag såg Liars hade han dreads, druidskägg... |
