Perfect!

This album is amazing and it's getting even better for each listening, even after two months!

Best album I've heard in 2009 so far.

It's a bigger departure from past Sunset records than the critics have let on, but's it's just as great. Pay close attention to the lead guitar playing, because it might be the best thing about the record.

My favorite album so far this year....Have listened to this over 25 times!

Well. I never thought I would vote on mc as a user. But I have to say. This album made me realize how amazing Spencer Krug, and more importantly even, Sunset Rubdown is. Before this it was all Spencer, and Spencer is amazing. But this album was the one that, while Spencer still brought it all together, everyone else got to give a bit. 'Silver Moons' is amazing, forget how it ties into the last song. 'Idiot Heart' was my fave song at first easy. And that "hope you die line" was on par with previous amazing SR lines. But I totally fell in love with "Apollo..." because of the lyrics and the music. But the thing this album did the most for me, is made me realize just how awesome everything is Spencer Krug has done with Sunset Rubdown. Every single song on this album is one of my favorite songs.… Expand

Best album I've heard this year. On par with Wolf Parade's (One of Krug's other bands) last album, but more accessible and hopeful of finding beauty in the world. Hopefully the album that will give Sunset Rubdown the recognition they deserve.

Exceptional album. This one really surprised me and continues to give me goose bumps while I'll rock out to it. One of the only albums I own with a perfect rating of 100. A must-by and my #1 album of 2009; it also placed at #4 for the decade behind My Morning Jacket, Wilco, and Fleet Foxes to give you some reference for what I'm in to.

Wow, as an old school punker around snice the '70's, I go pale when somebody says "The New Bowie' or "neo-glam". However, this is the real thing! I'm amazed that this is a current band. The have the retro chops but simultaneously sound like they dropped in from the future just as Ziggy did. Every song is great. This is a classic. No bull. Classy & sleazy all at once which the best rock n' roll always is.… Expand

Outstanding album from start to finish.

The best album that I have heard this year.

Sensational. Krug delivers another unique landscape.

Fantastic, beautiful, grandiose rock - with a brain, a tortured, poetic heart and a fantasic propulsive rhythm!

A great band which normally spins in some other ethereal orbit, deciding to swoop in like a blazing comet into a closer, more accessible orbit..all the better so more of the world can see their unique brand of spectacular, complex, off-kilter progressive pop.

'Bowiesque' without the pretentiousness of previous albums. There are some solid tracks on here.

This is an album with so many layers. You can listen it when lying on bed on the dark or play it loud enjoying the power of chorus and guitars. And after a fwe listens, it becomes even better. In resume, 10.

Oh my god amazing! Song writing at its peak!

This album through and through is the best of 2009. You go on ahead (trumpet trumpet II) is undoubtedly my favorite song. At first i liked silver moons the most, but after a couple listens i realized just how epic it is. On par with Shut Up I am Dreaming.

Just praying this score holds up. This is the record of the year for me so far. I have always loved Krug and, in many ways, this represents his finest moments yet. He has taken the quirkiness displayed on Random Spirit Lover and the more accessible rock elements from his Wolf Parade output and combined them almost perfectly. The only song that just feels out of place is Paper Lace. It has a great second half, but the beginning is awkward and sludgy and it just kind of ruins an otherwise perfect album. Still though, fantastic stuff.… Expand
