    At 10 songs and 35 minutes, there's no filler, not even on the obligatory final comedown 'Leave It At The Door,' which is all fluttery woodwinds and exhaustion.
  2. Lost At Sea

    It's Frightening kicks into high gear from the get-go, and never looks back.
  3. No Ripcord
    60
    It's Frightening isn't a bad album in its own right. There are certainly worse things than making a record that's frequently catchy but not terribly exciting.

    Ever since discovering this band's near perfect debut, "Fort Nightly", I couldn't wait for them to finish their much-talked about second record, "It's Frightening".

The record is a breath of fresh air in a world where critics are on the edge of the seat waiting for the next Green Day record.… Expand

    It's missing some of the spunk of "Fort Nightly" (which was a 9 for me), but it is nonetheless a great album. "Midnight And I" is my favourite track.… Expand
