Jan 21, 2013On first listen, I thought that this was "just another Calexico album". I enjoy them but have never been sucked in before. But this album really does grow on you, and good lord is it beautiful. These melodies will haunt your thoughts, and every listen is an intimate experience.

Oct 13, 2012This album is less coherent/ consistent than some of their earlier albums. Maybe it has to do with other projects and they couldn't concentrate on a complete album. In general the songs OK but there are a few which surpass others. I particularly like the number 'Hush' because there's a certain tension in it. The title track is also nice however it is not their best Instrumental.

MagnetOct 1, 2012Algiers appears designed not to define, defy, offend and - most heinously- explore. [No.91, p.53]

Sep 28, 2012Algiers is immense, genuine, and, at times, heartbreakingly beautiful.

Sep 28, 2012It is full of unusual clarity and purpose and seems to have benefited from a certain amount of restraint.
