    Occasionally... it cloys. [Mar 2007, p.110]
  2. There are too many special effects surrounding the messages-- Craig B's penchant for preadolescent vocals included.

    Too often, Aereogramme's tastefulness veers on the side of caution. [Mar 2007, p.75]
  4. Spin
    40
    Rafter-reaching wuss rock that might appeal to those who find Snow Patrol a little too heavy. [Mar 2007, p.86]

    this album is one of the best records that i've ever listened to. they use more strings on this one than any of their previous releases, this album is one of the best records that i've ever listened to. they use more strings on this one than any of their previous releases, but i think it suites craig's voice perfectly, giving the record an overall softer feel. they still maintain their heaviness but in a more dramatic and dynamic fashion, taking it up and down so smoothly that it is probably their easiest album to listen to, for those of you that can't handle the serious rock. these guys deserve much more recognition that they get, and in my opinon, the best album of 07 so far.

    Ive loved aereogramme since hearing A Story in White years ago. Went to see them live in feb after hearing 'My Heart...' only once- Ive loved aereogramme since hearing A Story in White years ago. Went to see them live in feb after hearing 'My Heart...' only once- they were excellent. While i dont think this abl is as good as White or Sleep and Release it is better than Seclusion which doesnt quite cut it. If you like any of Aereogramme's stuff you will like this. The highlights are Exits, A Life Worth Living and A Conscious Life for Coma Boy. Full Review »

    My favorite album of '07 so far. It's amazing to say the least.
