    The Fiery Furnaces have made one of the most ambitious and, quite likely, one of the best records of 2004.

    For those who've wondered what The Who's rock operas would sound like if rerecorded by Captain Beefheart and Stevie Nicks, it's time to break the rules. [Oct 2004, p.103]

    This album gets better with every listen, and if you're able to invest the time I'd say anyone could love this album (I mean, if you're willing to and you like the general sound of it). Definitely my favourite of 2004!… Expand

    Some nice moments. The girl, however witty a lyricist, is a cloying singer. One of the dumbest, cheesiest voices out of the indie scene. Yikes!

    Can't believe this schtick has been rated so high everywhere. Just when you thought music critics could be trusted...
