"'Heaven,' the title track off the Walkmen's seventh album (out June 5 on Fat Possum/Bella Union), is free of the youthful detachment of the band's previous releases, harnessing their energy into a sweeping, more mature arrangement. Combining jangly guitars, throbbing two-chord bass and an engaging tambourine, 'Heaven' works under a 'less is more' theory while maintaining a certain level of arena aspirations. Frontman Hamilton Leithauser belts, 'Remember/Remember/What we fight for,' during a cinematic chorus that eventually feeds into the song's most memorable lyric: 'Don't leave me now/You're my best friend/All of my life/You've always been.' The Walkmen somehow manage to make desperation empowering on 'Heaven,' and following the group's critically acclaimed 2010 album Lisbon, its latest single boasts of a newfound paternal energy." - Maria Sherman, billboard.com
