    Once again Akron/Family reaches across the threshold and bring us along to show us new and amazing fields of joy. Lovely

    I say 8, but I mean "just a hair below 9" This album is pretty and happy and good. I haven't heard their other stuff, or this Abgel's of Light stuff, but if it's anything like this I;ll buy it and like it.

    SOOOOOOOOOO DISSAPOINTING! I ADORED their last album. Truly. I saw them in concert and met all of them and they were great and really cool guys actually. Thats why I'm so dissapointed. The last album was amazing, this one sucks. Its just noise rock. More freak folky. I miss the beauty of the last albums. Where are songs like "Shoes," "Afford," "How Do I Know," "Before and Again," and SOOOOOOOOOO DISSAPOINTING! I ADORED their last album. Truly.

    Despite its scant 35-minute duration, Meek Warrior distills the entire history of experimental pop. Just as impressively, it finally bottles the frantic eclecticism and The Gods Must Be Crazy absurdity of the Family’s live show.

    The Akrons' striking group harmonies are at a greater premium here than before, but the grainy, more intimate production retains a sense of communal participation.

    While the rawk portion of Meek Warrior... is a bit of a letdown, Akron/Family hasn't lost its knack for making pretty with the acoustics.
