    The only songs I can stand to listen to on this album are Revelry and I've Seen Enough. CWK were supposedly over-hyped in '06, and I guess it's true - they've pretty much fallen flat on their faces with this second release.

    Almost in defiance of poor sales and cult following, CWK and their charming second album embody everything you hoped music might be.

    Cold War Kids attack their songs with unusual intensity, infusing even the most noirish, unsettling songs--fractured narratives about hipster bohemia and suicide--with a feeling of enchantment.

    Nathan Willett remains a technically proficient singer, with hints of Jeff Buckley, but much like his band's music, his voice is too drearily clean-cut to deliver a true emotional punch.
