    They've cleaned up their grungy guitar lines (thank you Sub Pop), reworked a few of the best songs from their early EPs, and the result is undoubtedly the best contender for the Arcade Fire/Broken Social Scene-helm of 2005.

    Each song is either a seismic death rattle or aftershock.

    On paper this all could sound average, but Wolf Parade's true talent is transforming the everyday into the unprecedented.

    Based on the quality and originality of the songwriting and the musci itself, Wolf Parade should be known by more people. Arcade Fire were the first indie band I listened to, and so I will always love them, but Wolf Parade are not afraid to go beyond the norm. "Shine a Light" is possibly me favourite song on my mp3 player… Expand

    Comparisons to Arcade Fire are off the mark. This is rehashed 80's, typical of the new "indie" sound, done by so many these days - British Sea Power, Bloc Party, Interpol. If I hadn't grown up in the 80's I miight find this fresh. Not a bad album just nothing new.… Expand
