    There are 12 distinct songs on Idols Of Exile, united by Collett's light touch and sense of snap.

    It's a roots record unashamed of its roots, derivative maybe only because it's so unabashedly traditional. [#19, p.102]

    It is a more stripped-down affair compared to Broken Social Scene's more ambitious material.
