    It's clear that Braid, after having been a band for more than a decade, have never sounded more like one.

    It's nice to have a few good new tracks to add to the collection from one of the scene's finest.

    Damon Atkinson's drumming is phenomenal as always, and Broach's new, crooning vocal style is an exciting first for the band. If this s what aging gracefully sounds like we back it. [Sep 2011, p.110]

    If this is the caliber of what Braid's writing nowadays, though, I'll hold out hope for a full effort.

    The EP comes and goes in 16 minutes, but it's nice to see Braid picking up as if 10 years hadn't passed. Here's hoping more music follows.
