  1. Under The Radar
    70
    The result is mesmerizing and eerie, bridging the gap between art-rock, prog, and neo-classical minimalism. [Spring 2008, p.86]
  2. 59.59 could use a few more fiery moments like these; as the album settles into its more temperate second half.
  3. 59.59 is an astounding album, quite unlike anything one's ever heard before.
  4. Spin
    70
    When pop structure interrupts the soundtrack-y vibe, it's modestly and briefly too much of singer Sian Ahern's sad, smok voice would lessen the mystery. [Apr 2008, p.102]
  5. Filter
    84
    Throughout, there are pieces that defy the term "song" and exist more as sonic collages--intriguing bits of paste and mortar between tracks--providing ethereal contemplation and occasional abrasive interludes before returning to the more traditional song structure that is anything but traditional. [Winter 2008, p.100]
