Alternative PressDecidedly mature and unapologetically soulful, Float is one of the most important records of this young year. [Apr 2008, p.148]
-
Most of the time, however, the band's blazing energy and instrumental swagger is able to lift your spirits despite the depressing subject matter.
-
It's the band's most diverse album yet—and, diversity being their strength, it's also their most accomplished.
-
With Float they’ve delivered another strong album that is more assured than their other records, and offers a hopeful energy.
-
Float is rescued from abject tedium by the deep, poetic lure of the subject matter and a couple of genuinely outstanding compositions in ‘Float’ and ‘(No More) Paddy’s Lament.’
