Análisis (en inglés) - :
For {^More Adventurous}, {$Rilo Kiley}'s {@Warner}-distributed hello to the big time, the Los Angeles band is more cohesive, more spotless, and tidier in its tangle of {\indie pop}, {\torch song}, and too-cool-for-school cynicism than ever before. This time out they favor craft over ruckus, rarefied over reckless. Sometimes {^Adventurous} goes too far -- like {$Belle & Sebastian}, RK's fastidiousness can become a sticky glaze. (The overwrought sway of {&"Does He Love You?"} comes to mind.) But the album is a mostly-perfect collection of the various sounds the band does best, wrapped around easily findable hooks. They're well-dressed indie kids ready and quite able to charm the mainstream. {$Jenny Lewis}' vocals are lighter than clouds and {$Petula Clark}sweet, even if she occasionally spits venom. "Any asshole can open up a museum/Put all the things he loves on display," she dismisses in the {$Luna}-like opener {&"It's a Hit."} But {$Lewis}' characters' faults and failings are just bruises on the {$Rilo Kiley} fruit, blemishes that characterize the band's effortlessly clean swirl of live string arrangements, subtle synth/keys, and glowing acoustic guitar. {&"I Never"} is a full-on, cast of thousands soundstage production, a robust, keening {\ballad} filled with pedal steel, fuzzed-out {$Beatles} guitar soloing, and {$Lewis}' gargantuan voice. The title track takes us back to {$Rilo Kiley}'s earlier work with its atmospheric {\country} feel, while {&"Love and War [11/11/46]"} is refreshingly propulsive -- it could be {$Stereophonics} covering {$Lone Justice}. Most of the album's quieter moments are equally strong, if somewhat grayed out. {^Adventurous}' stylistic restlessness might take some getting used to for new listeners. But fans from the {@Saddle Creek} days will enjoy the greater attention to detail, and everyone will love the bountiful hooks. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
