    Missiles is a true testament to meticulous sonic invention. [Nov/Dec 2008, p.85]
  2. Missiles is the ultimate non-indie-rock album from the quintessential indie-rock band. [Fall 2008, p.74]
  3. 60
    There are epic power ballads, which just manage to avoid faling into Keane/Coldplay territory; there are terriffic, drone-laden stomp-rockers....The use of saxophone, however, is ill-advised, and Lightburn's voice can get a little ponderous. [Dec 2008, p.88]
