    This is mannerist DOR more accomplished and less sentimental than its sources.
  2. All Music Guide

    These flashes of greatness don't quite add up to what could have been, but the album as a whole is still quite exceptional.
  3. Under The Radar

    An astonishingly boring band. [#5, p.103]

    Totally overrated. A few decent tracks but mostly just noise. Can't be compared with other good bands out of N.Y. like Stokes, CYHSY, etc.
