John P gave it a10:
Best album of 2005.
Adam R gave it a10:
amazingly dynamic and eerie album that, despite it's often upbeat southern feel, can inspire me to dreams of the strangest and deepest things.
Kevin gave it a10:
This is easily the best release of 2005 so far; a vastly underrated "debut." Check out "Running, Returning," and "Lumen," these are the best cuts. But they're all good so I command you to buy this!
Louise H gave it a10:
I loved the cd. It was creative and lively out of the box music. Very refreshing. This band really has something going.
Ben gave it a9:
Easily one of the most endearing and admirable release of the year. Tracks like "Italy" and "Franny/You're Human" make this record extremely addicting and highly impressive. Akron/Family is a band to keep your eye on. They're going to do some great things.
