This is so far my favorite Rilo Kiley record. I wouldn't worry about what the wardens of the indie rock prison say, they can't keep a good band down. I remember when bands were able to explore mainstream success and just enjoy the ride, now they're being treated like elected officials who can't piss off the voters. One day they'll realize that "indie" isn't a style of music, it references a record label. I’m in love with Under The Blacklight! This is so far my favorite Rilo Kiley record.

But you're going to have to do better than making blanket statements that carry no meaning; words like "horrible", "over-produced" aren't really descriptive, nor do effectively evaluate the album. And "Dejalo" the worst song hands down? Well, I suggest you take the dunce cap off and rethink. Well, that might have been a little harsh, but if I'm going to put the energy forward to write a thoughtful review, you could at least do the same. glad to see there’s some disagreement here, and I won’t even argue about the Estefan reference (I’ve got no problems with her).

Dejalo sounds like a bad Gloria Estefan rip off and is the worst song hands down that this band has ever put out. Dreamworld and Silver Lining are ok tunes, but as a whole, this album is disappointing and forgettable. wow. you are so far off in my opinion. this is just horrible pop music. the lyrics are cringe-worthy and the music is cheesy and over-produced.
