    Like the Postal Service's wiser uncle, this is emo-electronic that doesn't whine, but rather approaches with a sense of musical and lyrical purpose. [Sep 2005, p.104]

    Inside/Absent is a nice listen, but doesn't hint at anything greater to come-- a frustrating flaw for an album already unexcited with itself.

    Nuanced, sophisticated pop somewhere between Ben Folds and Spain. [Oct 2005, p.168]

    The songwriting meanders sometimes, but some engaging moments... surface throughout. [Oct/Nov 2005, p.135]

    The production on Inside/Absent is fantastic and... there are some amazingly bare moments. And although the moments are a bit too far and few between, they are worth the wait.

    A joyless experience.
