    4/10. Below average. Definitely the weakest of all MBD albums. Hauntingly beautiful moments can still be found on it - here and there - of course, but the album as a whole is an uninspiring one. Boring most times. Bring Me the Workhorse (2006) though still far from perfect is far better than this. Grab any of the other before trying it - preferably: This is my Hand (2014) or All Things4/10.

Grab any of the other before trying it - preferably: This is my Hand (2014) or All Things Will Unwind (2011), because listening to this first might push you away from MBD for good.

  1. As it stands, A Thousand Shark's Teeth is beautiful, more than a little insular, and ultimately intriguing for anyone willing to listen closely.
  2. It’s a swooning, big-gestured album to get lost in. Discovering new complexities and subtleties each time is an added bonus.
  3. Too often, Teeth sacrifices that for experiments that translate into beautiful arrangements, but turn songs as a whole into frustrating, incomplete muddles.
