    Not as good as some of their earlier albums, but it is a nice concise album. If you've enjoyed their last releases, you'd probably enjoy this. While I prefer the music from the Argyle Heir era, Gary's vocals sounds great on this!

    Fifteen years and seven albums in, The Ladybug Transistor remarkably seem to be just hitting their stride. [Jul 2011, p.86]

    If you love the bands The Ladybug Transistor love it's worth a listen, but this won't be the album to propel them forwards.

    Clutching Stems doesn't hit the highs some of the band's albums have, but it features some added-in coherency that quite helps the album along.
