DennyGAug 14, 2009Please, everyone, stop using the word "accessible". This album -- like "Widow City" it is not just a bunch of songs -- was made to shut up critics who want something just barely more adventurous than American Idol. Congratulations -- you succeeded magnificently. Now please get back to extending boundaries!

KieferJul 27, 2009Really solid album. I am a die hard fan and was initially disappointed that it is so relatively tame for an FF album. But, after about 10 listens I have come to appreciate just how listenable it is. There are a number of very beautifully done songs on this album and I suspect that I'll be going back to the well and listening to it many times.

FredR.Jul 21, 2009I greatly disliked Widow City so my expectations were pretty low for this one. I was pleasantly surprised. I'm Going Away allows their huge talent to take front stage and it is accessible and fun to listen to.

I'm Going Away is a departure that fits in with the rest of the Fiery Furnaces' work, and it's only fitting that a band this creative can pull something like that off.
-
I’m Going Away is striking for its group sound; the Furnaces play with more air around them, more flexibility and interaction.

Fans can breathe easy: The weirdness that so delights them isn't Going anywhere just yet.
