This is a marching band that's veered way out of formation, and is making utterly original music.
-
Earnest and joyful throughout, they don't make records like this anymore, so be glad Anathallo didn't listen and made one anyway.
-
Canopy Glow sees the band returning to a more straightforward pop format--as straightforward as a band with a penchant for the theatrical may ever get--with successful results.
-
79Although the material could certainly stand on its own without all of its dressings, Canopy Glow is a more complete, dynamic experiment because of them.
-
76Not limiting their lyrical or instrumental content, the songs never feel ostentatious or forced. [Holiday 2008, p.106]
-
this album is never less than interesting. It's just that with but a touch of discipline, they could create something truly magical.
-
Canopy Glow can pass you by on first listen, but persevere and memorable moments do emerge.
-
60True, the band has dialed back this tendency in comparison to Floating World, but the music on their latest still feels like a band struggling to edit themselves. However, there are some genuinely successful moments on Canopy Glow that play to Anathallo's strengths.
-
53The unnatural and unnerving smoothness of Canopy Glow shows that if there was any one Anticon record that deserved to be called Alopecia, it's this one.
-
Overall the sound is deadened by indecisive production that tries to highlight everything at once. The heights don't sound as high as they should. [Year End 2008]
-
50There are some amazing moments on this record; it's a crying shame that they're linked with the sound of a band treading water.
