  1. Delusions of Adequacy
    100
    This album is not only the band's most solid and consummate release to date, not merely one of the most veritable albums 2007 has delivered to us--but also, truly, one of the top albums in the past five years of indie rock history.
  2. Drowned In Sound
    90
    Whereas the band's 2004 long-player was a studied exercise in melancholic understatement, melded to some mightily addictive pop hooks, this ten-tracker is an immediately gratifying affair that pulls not a single punch in the catchiness stakes.
  3. Spin
    60
    Too many perfectly good songs that never quite approach greatness. [Oct 2007, p.108]

    Another great album from Pinback, although not as good as Summer in Abaddon.

    I've liked some older Pinback tracks quite a lot, but I really can't find anything to like there. It's all so noodly, and smooth - even when they try to turn up the rock a little bit, it all sounds the same to me.… Expand
