This is probably the best album they've made. It's mature and absolutely beautiful.

Another comment here asks "Are they ever going to make an album that is less than brilliant?" Unlikely.
Jim D gave it a9:
Anyone who likes SFA and doesn't think this album is great should listen to it at least 20 times before giving it a rating. I wasn't all that impressed after the first couple of listens, but now I have to say its one of my favourite albums of all time. If it didn't have "The Horn" on it, it would be a perfect album.
Julian R gave it a6:
This album is merely pleasant. Like on Phantom Power, not much immediately stands out and grabs you. Definitely one of the band's lesser efforts, though still worthwhile. Only the opening track "Zoom!" has me pressing the repeat button. Perhaps their best ever song.
Josh K gave it a10:
This album has captured my imagination. Only recently have I even heard of Super Furry Animals, and already they have become one of my favorite groups. Despite the fact that I like ther Guerilla album better, this album is still well deserving of a perfect score, for its grace and perfection. The type of music is just to my liking. A mixture of electronica and pop rock, with a very talented vocalist, who has, in my opinion, an extremely sexy voice.
Samuel L gave it a4:
My infatuation with this band has known no bounds for the last five years. Unfortunately, Love Kraft is decidedly mediocre in almost every regard. Glimmers of creativity are there, but are much too infrequent to make me really care. The band claims the weather and atmosphere influenced the direction they went on this album, but it didn't need to drain them of energy, quirk, and talent. This is the first SFA album that has really made me worry about the band's future. Let's hope their next is a return to form.

Takes a few listens, but it is certainly worth the effort. Are they ever going to make an album that is less than brilliant?
