my first impression of this record was that its just another shoegaze act, but after a couple of listen, this groups really has a sound of their own even though they will never get away from the mbv comparisons. the album really has a very rock anthem feeling and its simply grand in some parts. these guys push things and just when u think they cant push anything futher they do. Candelighted is an unbelievable track with gorgeous arangements followed by a crash rockout of beehiver II. dont come down here is elegant dream pop and the 12 minute ender is a good closer that highlights the bands range. great first record for a group.

Sounds like more upbeat, energetic MBV. I like this album a lot, it's not amazing but it's definitely good :D
Mihai V gave it a10:
Excellent. Very close to a masterpiece. It's true that classifying it as shoegaze is debateable. It's so much more.

Wow, guess I missed something b/c I couldn't stand this album.

Horribly overrated. To call it shoegaze is also highly misleading. Their are elements of shoegaze in some of the songs but most of it isn't. It's largely pretentious and self-indulgent crap. The good moments are few and far between.
