    I've heard a lot of comparison between the Stills and Interpol and to be quite frank, I never made that connection. "Logic Will Break Your Heart" is a decent enough album.

    The Stills' excellent debut album, Logic Will Break Your Heart, is a stunner, a rush of shoegazer guitars and suave lover-boy angst.

    The Stills succeed at distilling their influences into an inviting update. [24 Oct 2003, p.105]
