  1. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    The guitar-led epic soundscapes, choral chanting, woeful strings and portent keys on their debut 'A Love Of Shared Disasters' are still present.
  2. Uncut
    80
    Over the course of 80 compelling minutes they roam laggardly through rural post-rock, prog, folk, ambient and doom metal pastures without ever trying your patience. [May 2009, p.80]

  3. Mojo
    60
    This 77-minute abbreviation includes the 18-minute triptych 'Time Of Ye Life/Born For Nothing/Paranoid Arm Of Narcoleptic Empire, typifying CBP's simmering conflagration of Mogwai, Godspeed! and The God Machine. [May 2009, p.109]

    The individual disc is only half as good as the double album (The Resurrectionists & Night Raider), but still chronicles most of the better songs, and works pretty well as a stand-alone. Seek out or download the full double album to get the complete experience though, it won't leave you disappointed.… Expand
