    It may end angrily, but when it's all said and done, Microcastle is a blissful retreat from the known.

    But for all the praise it should receive for being the record Deerhunter were destined to make, what will make Microcastle a classic (and this has every right to become a classic) is what the album means to the person listening.

    Much of this album sounds like its been stitched together from 4AD's finest moments. [Dec 2008, p.88]
