EGoldJul 28, 2006Do not be tricked into buying this CD. Pitchfork's high review convinced me to give it a shot, and it was a complete waste of money. The CD is bland, derivative, and all of the songs sound the same. Their lyrics are laughably generic and there is a complete lack of catchy hooks. This is from someone who likes indie music, too.

ChaseMay 14, 2006Band of Horses? More like Bland of Horses. I've given it about 4 listens now and I still don't get what the buzz is. It's not horrible, but not good either; very overrated and very average. It's heavily influenced by My Morning Jacket, but I much prefer My Morning Jacket to Band Of Horses.

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

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