    a solid album, more ambitiously crafted than their debut, but the results are somehow less convincing and immediate. if you can find it, check out their first album (Nightsongs) first. i prefer it.

    There are some really, really amazing songs on this CD. There are also some really horrible ones. If you like this, you HAVE to check out their debut, Nightsongs. It is flat-out amazing, and much more solid overall than this CD.

    More New Order and Saint Etienne than Smiths, and with male and female vocals, the band comes across as an electro-pop Belle and Sebastian.

    While the orchestration and production are impeccable and finely crafted, it's not hard to pick out influences from the 1980s, ranging from brooding rock to pulsing synthetic pop.

    It all ends up sounding very expressive, in a blurry sort of way.
