  1. PopMatters
    80
    If anything really differentiates Loose in the Air from its predecessor, it's that the more conventional recording process has the band sounding a little less leftfield. This isn't necessarily a drawback because any oddness excised from Loose in the Air is exchanged for a new sense of synergy.
  2. Splendid
    80
    The Double combine unsettling electronic noise with simple, enjoyable vocal hooks to create a rickety, rattletrap pop collage that's too undeniably ear-catching to ignore.
  3. Under The Radar
    80
    The Double is poised to overtake Yo La Tengo's avant-pop throne, but it's still early. [#11, p.114]

    Ever wonder what Interpol would sound like with a noize guy scuzzing up their high-tension tunes? [16 Sep 2005, p.87]

    This is an awesome album. But it must be listened to several times to really appreciate the nuance, particularly the drums.
