Alternative PressLike most good thematic albums, or films or books, for that matter, it's hard to put the pieces together on Album Of The Year, and just when you think you've got the narrative unraveled, you'll rediscover another lost passage or double entendre. [Sep 2004, p.122]
-
The attention to detail in the production, the punchy melodies, and the sympathetic performances by the group -- along with Kasher's writing that is nothing less than gripping and often head-shakingly brilliant -- make this record an indispensable artifact for anyone who likes indie rock with a real emotional punch.

New Musical Express (NME)Album of the year? It's definitely a contender. [7 Aug 2004, p.49]

[Kasher's] ability to toss off seemingly effortless melodic hooks makes one wonder just what kind of water is in Saddle Creek.
-
Album Of The Year isn't as compact or viscerally exciting as the EP that preceded it, mainly because it's not as loud.

BlenderListening to these tales of failing relationships feels like eavesdropping, but it's irresistible. [Sep 2004, p.136]
-
Under The RadarAlbum Of The Year is able to sustain a listener for 53 minutes--not necessarily interest, and certainly not to inspire, but sustain. [#7]
