Three DeBaser reviews chart Rilo Kiley’s path from intimate indie-pop beginnings to a more mainstream turn. Take Offs and Landings is praised for its crafted pop and folk touches. The Execution of All Things is deemed enjoyable and nuanced, if less convincing when it chases radio polish. Under the Blacklight draws sharp criticism for a glossy, MTV-ready sheen, with Smoke Detector singled out as a keeper.
