Have You Ever Done Something Evil? (2014)

by Hallelujah The Hills

supported by

monokhrome Every track stomps. Favorite track: Pick Up An Old Phone.

summer villain I've loved this band from the git-go, but this is probably their best recorded performance to date. Earworms galore, and well-recorded to boot. Favorite track: Phenomenonology.

Richard RR Utterly worth buying! Favorite track: Do You Have Romantic Courage?.

Randy Johnson The perfect soundtrack to drive from St. Louis, MO to Keokuk, IA. One of the three finest records of 2014. I Stand Corrected, We Are What We Say We Are, and Do You Have Romantic Courage are standouts, but really, the entire album is outstanding. Favorite track: I Stand Corrected.

Jan Kuik best album yet. Especially the long(er) numbers. My fav: Phenomenology Favorite track: Try This Instead.

You’ve been selected to participate In a survey about this call You can press 3 to get on with it Or smash the phone into the wall Cuz when times get rough We can always choose the good ol’ fight or flight & this informal polling call is just another way to pass the night We used to live like a Two-Part Tribe Now we’re struggling to pass by We used to shout names at the dawn If you recall this please press one If you recall this please press one & if you’re all alone when the shit goes down You can always press the star key to see if I’m around But I probably won’t be around Because the world tends to swallow us whole & I’d rather risk oblivion Then wait around to play some phony role I’m losing track of who hates who I’m an exception to the rule I think somebody’s coming around who’s gonna tell us the truth Is everybody's wasting your time?

- "Few do it with the style and imagination of Hallelujah the Hills. [It's] is a blast from start to finish, every minute packed with hooky twists and turns. Mastermind Ryan Walsh can write a hell of a chorus, too, hitting plenty of Pollard-ian, singalong sweet spots over the album’s 12 tunes." - Aquarium Drunkard

- “A rousing, old-school rock whirlwind” – Stereogum
- “Criminally underappreciated” – Spin
