Pete Baran: Employing college rock whine No.1 is rarely a way to endear me. And yet there is something sparkily infectious about “Let’s Go,” which is almost certainly related to the “Let’s Go”-iness of the song itself. Taking a cue from its name, the song seems more than keen to come in, be motivational and then bugger off. Which would be fine except I fear that with this, an advert or two and an omnipresence on indie movie soundtracks in the next two years it may never go anywhere.

Patrick St. Michel: Take a duo who sound best when they are at their most hyperactive, zap out the energy and make sure the lead singer’s awkward singing comes through clearly and you get this endurance challenge of a song.

Jer Fairall: Good job teaching the indie kids to dance again. Now just get their mouths to stop making such stupid sounds.

Brad Shoup: Man, he loves those close vowels. Does he pronounce his name “Meat”? At this point, their career is basically a magic act, but damn they are the sweetest folks.

Will Adams: The fun is in guessing which 30 seconds of this will appear in the Target commercials for which this was undoubtedly commissioned.

Anthony Easton: This is supposed to be light and summery, but in how hard it works at making its (not very interesting) quirks ingratiating, it just becomes grating.

Jonathan Bogart: Pat The Roc put way more effort into the video than anyone did into the writing, performing, or recording of the song.

Alfred Soto: The long-awaited hybrid of Savage Garden and fun.
