Mind over Matter received generally favorable
reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which
assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the
album received an average score of 67, based on 7 reviews, indicating
"generally favorable" reviews.
Rating the album three stars out of five,
Timothy Monger of AllMusic called the
album "an able, straightforward modern indie rock record" and wrote
that the band was at its best on some of the lighter songs on the album, such
as "Firelight" and "Waves". However, he noted that "the
type of mainstream guitar/synth rock Young the Giant pursue is littered with
similar acts, making it tough to rise above the din. Comparisons
to stadium-filling bands like Coldplay and Phoenix are not out of
line, but there is a general lack of distinction to much of the music on Mind
over Matter, suggesting that the band still hasn't discovered its defining
characteristics.
Mind over matter
Does it matter to any of us?
Don't change the subject
I'm heavy on your love
I missed that train
New York City, it rains
Fly to East LA in big jet planes
You know you're on my mind
And if the world
don't break
I'll be shaking it
'Cause I'm a young man after all, ooh
And when the seasons change
Will you stand by me?
'Cause I'm a young man built to fall, ooh
Mind over matter
I'm in tatters thinking about her
Taste my disaster
It's heavy on my tongue
All the lights aglow,
Tokyo snows
Go to watch the show, curtain's closed
I'm watching you this time
And if the world
don't break
I'll be shaking it
'Cause I'm a young man after all, ooh
And when the seasons change
Will you stand by me?
'Cause I'm a young man built to fall, ooh
(I missed that train)
New York City, it rains
(Fly to East LA) in big jet planes
You know you're on my mind
(All the lights aglow) Tokyo snows
(Go to watch the show) curtain's closed
I'm watching you this time
Mind over matter
Mind over matter
You know you're on my mind!
And if the world
don't break
I'll be shaking it
'Cause I'm a young man after all, ooh
(I missed that train) and when the seasons change
Will you stand by me? (Fly to East LA)
'Cause I'm a young man built to fall, ooh
And if the world
don't break (all the lights aglow, Tokyo snows)
(Go to watch the show, curtain's closed)
And when the seasons change
Will you stand by me?
'Cause I'm a young man built to fall, ooh!
