   This album definitely took 1-2 listens to fully grow on me, but now after having listened to it approximately twenty times, it has become my favorite SSPU album, even ahead of Swoon. The drums have more variety in their sound on this record too, which is nice. Each and every song is memorable and each runs above 4 minutes in length, so you definitely get a lot of music for your money.… Expand

It lacks the sheer power and dark passion of Skin Graph, Make Believe, Simmer, Busy Bees. There are too many highlights to mention, right through to the final track. Album of the year so far. Brilliant!… Expand

   I'm very surprised at the number of negative reviews here. It's not a perfect record, but it is definitely a great one. All four members of Silversun Pickups have stepped up their game, and it completely pays off. I like this record much more than Swoon, but not quite as much as Carnavas.… Expand
