    there are a couple brilliant moments jammed into between far too much poorly produced and never quite fully flushed out songs.

    Completely uninhibited both to its credit and fault, Swan Lake doesn’t always reach the towering combined height set by it’s forerunners, but is able to stand alongside each of them individually. [#15]
  2. Swan Lake has the literariness of the Decemberist's Colin Meloy, but its members are the kids with the intentional nerd glasses in the poetry workshop -- not the fiction one.
  3. As a relic relief map of an endearing school of Canadian pop weirdness, Swan Lake's first offering is an accomplishment; still, that doesn't make teasing the occasional shining strand out of so much ugliness any less of a chore.
