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

    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.

  1. 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.
  2. In a nutshell, Neptune is a bit like Grace Slick fronting the Bad Seeds but not as good as it sounds.
  3. This truly is a beautiful collection.
