    For every tempest like "Lassoo" or "Neptune's Call," there's an unabashedly pretty moment like the almost serene "Wooden Heart" or "Sovereign," either of which would have been completely out of place on Cuts Across the Land — but it's the depth, power, and flair of moves like these that make Neptune the real introduction to the Duke Spirit.

    With Neptune, The Duke Spirit have dredged the sea of their collective talents and recorded a small masterpiece. [Spring 2008, p.75]

    An album of murky depth, of seductive charms and no end of style.

    Though their efforts to keep the flame of rock'n'roll burning bright are to be applauded, the feeling that the real standard bearers are tuning up elsewhere is impossible to shrug off.

    I am absolutely shock to see such a low score from an album that's been hyped the way it has on college radio and in the UK. I've heard nothing but good press about this outstanding record....until now. I'm going to side with college radio this time because this album is a flat out masterpiece. Go out and get it.… Expand

    I honestly don't understand these reviews! The band is great and the songs are well written... This is a great indie rock album.
