Moment Bends is the fourth studio album by Australian indie pop band Architecture in Helsinki.
[6] Heather Phares of AllMusic labelled the album a "return to form" and more focused than its predecessor.
[2] Eric Grandy of Pitchfork Media gave the album a score of 6.5, noting its indebtedness to "lite-FM 80s", while praising "Contact High" as a "terrific pop song", though he felt the rest of the record was uneven.
[7] Slant Magazine's Kevin Liedel expressed confusion with the album, asserting it was a "good bet that after only one track of Moment Bends, most longtime fans will have their brows furrowed."
"[8] Uncut magazine dismissed it as "the kind of glossily produced 'perfect pop' you can spin a dozen times without ever remembering a single tune.
