  1. Lost At Sea

    The whole of the album is stunning and unique, and if the thematic gender-bending core of the album makes a few people ideologically shy away, then it's truly a shame.
  2. Pitchfork
    80
    We all know a little something about chasing that ideal version of ourselves, and Antony's persistence in the face of futility makes it a joy to run by his side.
  3. Under The Radar
    80
    From the tentative piano chords that open the gorgeous title track, the EP never wavers from a tone of frail melancholy, sketching out a handful of dirges in arrangements that are unusually spare by The Johnsons' standards. [Year End 2008, p.88]

    Another World desperately labors to keep fans satiated and ends up overburdened, somewhere nicely between all its scattered intentions.
