Expo 86 is the third full-length album by Canadian indie rock band Wolf Parade. It was released on 29 June 2010.[1] [2]
Expo 86 received positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, the album holds a score of 75/100 based on 26 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[3]
"Expo 86" was recognized by Exclaim! as the No. 17 Pop & Rock Album of 2010.[4] Exclaim! writer Josh O'Kane said: "Long gone are the densely layered sonic landscapes of Wolf Parade albums past ― Expo 86 marks an evolution in sound, but not a change. It's Spencer Krug's manic-pop circus meeting Dan Boeckner's twitchy Springsteen revivalism in one sprawling album that's simultaneously more disjointed and more confident than ever."
