    This is one of the most over-hyped CD's this year. I've listened several times, and just don't understand why they are getting so much praise.

  1. It gets a little long in the tooth in places and samey-sounding.
  2. It takes a few listens to sink in, but Everything is transcendent, shimmering, layered, and smartass emo-pop fully ready for stadium saturation.

    [They] show impressive mood-manipulation skills despite relatively simplistic songwriting. [24 Mar 2006, p.70]
