-
A genre-bowing indie masterpiece as gorgeous as anything released since Sigur Rós’ ( ).
-
The impeccably crafted Different Days is at its best when it exploits the vocal strengths of Anderson and Costa.
-
The themes of isolation, solitude and general soul-crushing existence makes it their most blatantly honest work and helps further reinforce the notion that this is their most fully realized and beautiful release to date.
-
MagnetThat Different Days is so listenable despite its flawed nature is testament to Costa and Anderson's wonderful songwriting and shrewd decisions. [Jan/Feb 2005]
-
Both Costa and Lindsay Anderson have an uncanny ability to evoke multiple emotions through their lyrics. The downside seems to be their lack of range; all the songs feel the same.
-
FilterThe vocals veer a bit too far into tunelessness at times, but the music is gorgeously majestic, yet deceptively simple and stark. [#14, p.100]
-
UncutThe mournful tone is seductive, but at times the femme melodrama teeters into All About Eve territory. [Feb 2005, p.83]
