   Excellent consistency in this record, dare I say accessible compared to Rocket to the Moon or Axes, but enjoyable - at least my favorite album of the year.… Expand

   I've followed new music pretty closely this year, and I have to say that this is easily the most enjoyable, all the way through, full-length I've heard so far - and that's saying a U.S. ton because there's been a lot of great new music. Yeah, this album's fresh, but it's also familiar and doesn't tire like a lot of the stuff coming out this year that's trying to be something new, rather then itself. The playing is great, the melodies rich with all sorts of hope and emotions. I've seen this band live, and they slay. I'd love to see them now at this new peak, and this album deserves your attention. If you're a romantic, or understand what somebody means when they talk about yearning, then this music just might be for you. If you prefer songs about love and life, and real poetic existence, then this just might be what you've been looking for.… Expand

   I thought it was great. The album had a lot more uplifting to it unlike The Power Out but still amazing. I love Electrelane and will live and die by them!… Expand

   Clear Stereolab moments aside there are moments where musicianship actually comes into question. It seems unlikely that a bad playing together this long should have so many awkward missed beats and ques that make them sound like ameteurs, not a tightly knit group. Their pop sense is keen, or at least well studied, but being a Stereolab fan of some 12 years, there is nothing really that new here. Maybe that's not really fair to compare, but our brains are difference machines. Still and all, this is a nice album.… Expand
