The band is at its best on some of the album's lighter cuts. On the neon synth-soul of the album's title cut, frontman Sameer Gadhia sings of being "a young man after all," so perhaps Young the Giant's most unique ideas are still in front of them. 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.
The music is well played and the songs dynamic, but the type of mainstream guitar/synth rock Young the Giant pursue is littered with similar acts, making it tough to rise above the din.
