    one of the best of 2006, full of wonderful moods and unexpected turns on the songs.

    Cohen's album isn't perfect, and much of it feels empty, but the songwriting is much more beautiful and complex than most modern indie artists. I bought this record when it was released and still rotate it frequently.

    Calamity is slightly inconsistent and could be described as a hit-or-miss affair, but the hits outnumber the misses.

    Upon first listen, some of Calamity, though fun, sounds like partial ideas rather than full-fledged songs. Some tracks never recover from this symptom after a dozen spins; some do.

    Calamity shows the Curtains to be a band of great moments more than great songs, and in this distinction lies the difference between the listener that dismisses the album and the one that holds on to it despite its flaws.
