    Terrific melodic rock. They have strayed from their emo roots, but you can still hear a lot of passion.

    At this point it seems that Rainer Maria are much more modern rock than emo, but that doesn't mean that Catastrophe Keeps Us Together isn't a good album.

    Often echo[es] early R.E.M. with better articulation. [7 Apr 2006, p.59]

    Catastrophe Keeps Us Together is the most Rainer Maria has sounded like themselves since the Atlantic EP and is more daring than we could have hoped.
