Guilt

2009 | Capitol

12 Sources have reviewed this album

8/10

Alternative Press

Their most complete-sounding disc to date. [Mar 2004, p.91]

8/10

PopMatters

To these ears, the Get Up Kids have finally arrived.

7.5/10

Entertainment Weekly

Dark but guitar-driven, it proves [On A Wire's] soft sentiment might have worked better with a little more hard rock. [5 Mar 2004, p.68]

7.5/10

Spin

Ultimately, Guilt Show feels about as transitional as its predecessor; Pryor has stripped the cuteness from his songwriting but hasn't figured out how to make his dispatches from adulthood resonate the way his teenland stuff used to. [Apr 2004, p.91]

7/10

Stylus Magazine

Tellingly, the consistently likable Guilt Show falters only when The Get Up Kids overextend their grasp and depart from their nearly infallible pop formula, as on the “experimental” claptrap of the album’s last two tracks.

6.5/10

Despite having all of the right elements, this album seems far more forgettable than the aforementioned "The Last Kiss."

6/10

Blender

Paired with the Kids’ fidelity to verse/chorus pop, Pryor’s boyishly confident, hopeful delivery can sound pro forma, even mindless.

6/10

The Onion (A.V. Club)

The Get Up Kids relies on classic pop arrangements (piano accents, acoustic bridges, moody electronic/orchestral interludes, and climactic choruses) to bring a touch of class to what might otherwise be standard half-hook emo, faintly catchy but funda

5/10

The New York Times

Often Mims refers to how hated he’s become for his success, but truly it’s hard to loathe someone so underwhelming.

4/10

All Music Guide

Guilt may be a bad title for a pop-rap album so slick and shallow, the completely ludicrous I Am Hip Hop's Savior was the original plan, suggesting that this project was misguided since early development.
