    Somber early works by the Cure and Joy Division read like knock-knock jokes by comparison. [#46, p.66]
  2. Alternative Press
    80
    The tunes are as melancholy rosey as ever, the confessional as soul-stirringly honest and open. [#147, p.83]

    Arab Strap's music is still fractured, Smog-like, and woefully beautiful. The group's pitted, narky ambience fuses Irvine Welsh with Brian Eno's Another Green World-- Elephant Shoe is ambient for the Tamazipan massive.... Arab Strap's depression is as addictive as their expression of it is alluring.
