  1. The first album from the group that feels downright tedious to me in places, as well as the first one that feels like they're spinning their wheels a bit.

    Haunting lamentations that owe as much to the Jewish Klezmer and US folk traditions as to Slint. [May 2005, p.110]
  3. As grounds for our own wandering imaginations and protesting voices, Horses' six songs are not as fertile as what's come before them.
  4. If this is your first experience of the band, you might still find it fresh, but personally I’m beginning to feel radicalism fatigue.
  5. Horses in the Sky has some melodic, attractive moments, though these are drowned by yelps and off-key vocals that grate and stain the whole work.
