Sep 19, 2012The new record from indie rockers Band of Horses 'Mirage Rock' has its moments, it has a unique change of sound to it from their folksy roots to a more power pop structure. This record and most of the song just end up being a disappointment.

Jun 12, 2013I enjoyed this album, though i can see where some of the fans and critics are coming from. I don't think it deserves to be panned, but it definitely isnt there very best work. Still, a great band.

Jun 18, 2013To keep it short, this is one giant turd of an album. A totally unlistenable mish-mash of cheese, twang and dopey, uninspired lyrics (see "Dumpster World"). Band of Horses' music has been on a sharp decline since the departure of Mat Brooke and I think "Mirage Rock" is finally rock bottom.

Dec 6, 2012Ben Bridwell's voice remains a beguiling instrument in both high and low registers, and there are moments of stark beauty.

Oct 30, 2012Fourth album Mirage Rock is a bungled mess of poor production and half-assed songwriting.

MagnetOct 1, 2012The songs work as robust individuals, as well as in the dynamic context of the album's sequencing; up-tempo rockers connect with sparse 'n' sullen twangers. [No.91, p.53]
