  1. Delusions of Adequacy
    90
    Through all of the musical intricacies and variances, Rossen and Nicolaus have truly created one of the best albums of the year.
  2. The Boston Phoenix
    88
    In Ear Park improves on Grizzly Bear's psychedelic folk ęsthetic by both fleshing it out and making it more accessible.
  3. Uncut
    60
    Rosen and Nicolaus stride forth as songsmiths of a much more assured vintage, harp, piano, brass and chocolatey harmonies coming together in vividly orchestrated numbers. [Nov 2008, p.94]

    I give it an 85% With the exception of a few tracks, it is a masterful work. Really beautiful melodies and atmospherics, and it builds some wonderful moments without sacrificing the catchy hooks. Consider this a follow up to Yellow House and you can't be disappointed.… Expand
