    The Stills have always shown promise, but Logic Will Break Your Heart ascends far beyond anyone's wildest expectations.

    A similar osmosis of Bunneymen and Chameleons' dramarama as Interpol. [Mar 2004, p.106]

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

    Yep, go buy it... In some ways The Stills are the band that The Doves always threatened to be but could never really deliver on. I hear a lot Yep, go buy it...

    A beautiful record. It's the album that I hoped Interpol would make, but I guess The Stills beat them to it.

    After listening to this album at least a dozen times, I still can't get enough. I'd love to see them in concert in a small venue.

    I've heard a lot of comparison between the Stills and Interpol and to be quite frank, I never made that connection.
