    I've been listening to this album for a few weeks now and I must say I like it just as much as their first album. I love this bands sound. The album really sucks me in. I've been writing papers for classes I'm in to this album and it really does surround you in a good way. Can't wait to hear more from this band. Scotland is delivering some very interesting bands as of late.

    With The Twilight Sad's "Forget The Night Ahead", it seems they never heard of the concept of the difficult 2nd album.

An effortless follow up to their debut, album number 2 has enough progression to satisfy anyone demanding change from album to album. It also retains what made their debut stand out. There are more traditional song structures on this record when compared to "14 Autumns and 15 Winters" but it is still a general mood that is the lasting memory of the record rather than any particular chorus or lyric. Another solid entry into the back catalog of one of the more reliable indie rock bands of the last decade or so.… Expand

    Forget The Night Ahead continues the intrigue, drama and explosiveness of its predecessor, but goes into more shoegazing territories than progressive ones. It displays charm, delicacy, sorrow and anger in the same old ways; the flame is intact.

    The delicacy and epic sweep of the Twilight Sad's first album is missed occasionally on Forget the Night Ahead, but the progress they've made is fascinating--and rewarding--to hear.

    Forget the Night Ahead is a resoundingly superb follow-up to that same 2007 album.

    Having set ridiculously high standards in the past both on record and in the flesh, Forget The Night Ahead hovers above the line marked average rather than the higher echelons of greatness its creators undoubtedly strove to achieve.
