ResonanceTheir most intricate release to date: a breathtaking tapestry filled with more horns, string flourishes and beguiling melodies than a romantic heart can bear. [#26, p.50]
-
MagnetIt glides along with the same humid grace that made 1997's If You're Feeling Sinister a bedsit classic.... wonderful, sweeping songs. [#46, p.68]
-
There's creepiness all over Fold Your Hands, from the deceptively sweet kiss-off "Don't Leave the Light on Baby" (RealAudio excerpt), and the raped narrator of "The Chalet Lines," to the self-conscious self-parody of "Nice Day for a Sulk"
-
Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant embellishes on the coyly lavish arrangements of 1998's The Boy With the Arab Strap without forgetting to flex real heart muscles.
-
SelectIf some of 'Fold Your Hands' is marred by the curse of songwriting democracy and the faint sound of water being trodden,... at their best, Belle & Sebastian are still utterly unique, still utterly beguiling.
-
On its fourth full-length adventure, Glaswegian septet Belle & Sebastian wanders away from their painfully catchy melodies with symphonic '70s-esque feather rock.
-
Begins the band's slide into sonic monotony and lyrical malaise.

MikeT.Jul 11, 2001Disappointing. Despite a couple of brilliant songs ("I Fought in a War", "The Model"), this is easily the band's weakest work to date.
