JonathanA.Dec 8, 2007As much as I adore this band, In Our Bedroom After the War fails to win my heart like their previous releases did. It's a step down in every imaginable way from Set Yourself On Fire. They're moving backwards, and I'm disappointed.

georgieOct 5, 2007Average, with little to add to the excellent Set Yourself On Fire. The Night Starts Here is a sweet standout track, but the musical theatre tendencies of the group let the album in its whole down.

EricC.Aug 19, 2008I'm not sure why, but the Stars annoy the hell out of me. I get why people are so in to them, but... I just don't like them, and I keep trying to like them with each new album. All I'm trying to say is that hear some songs first before dropping some cash on their records (and not just "Take Me to the Riot", because that's all I heard before buying this one).

The tracks are both individually strong and do work as a whole, though not in the way the group necessarily intended.

An instant classic for some, a slow-burner for others; this is what we've come to expect of Stars.

In Our Bedroom After The War is better than expected even as it wallows in its own broken heart.
