I don't care what some of the critics say, this is some of the most thoughtful, intelligent, and even emotional music being written these days. This is the album for an autumn drive through the entire length of a flat state when you almost want to wave at any of the four cars you pass. Love. It.

Rogue Wave, the band everybody loves to hate - where everybody is either a) a jackass or b) less than 26 years old. I know! I'm going to poop in my pants and call it the Arcade Fire and then rub it in my hair! I get so sick of everyones RW qualifications. It's not easy to make songs like this. Grow up and recognize.

Wow, this is one amazing album. This one almost slipped past me, unnoticed, until my bro tipped me on to it. Most of the low "professional" reviews are just lazy...and what's sad is that this is immediate stuff, so why take such a narrow-minded view? The melodies get stuck in your mind easily, yet most of the songs reward the listener on multiple listens, despite their instant catchiness. Oh well, just because some critics want to write them off doesn't diminish the album - it's just too bad these guys aren't quite getting the credit they deserve for writing such wonderful music.
Matt gave it a10:
A perfect combination of the Beatles, Elliott Smith, and their own experimentation. One of the best of the year.
Sean T gave it a3:
such a letdown from their debut. retained none of the warmth or good feeling instead we get overproduced half assed experimentation over non-memorable melodies. ugh
Derek B gave it a10:
Brilliant album which showcases Zach's diverse musical interests and influences. The songs have many layers and I have enjoyed it even more after many listens. I'm rather at a loss to explain some of the more lukewarm reviews -- superficial reviewers who just like vanilla don't get it.
Will gave it a9:
Definitely one of the best albums of the year, if you know what good music is.
