MagnetAug 11, 2016The success of the Amazing in general--and Ambulance by proxy--is the band's uncanny ability to touch on a wealth of styles without flying any specific philosophical flag, thereby remaining unique in tone and execution. [No. 134, p.53]

Aug 4, 2016Ambulance manages to sound both mysterious and familiar at once.
