    Thoroughly theatric, Pale Young Gentlemen's measured approach is channeled by the bricolage upshot of their composition.
  2. Stylus Magazine
    83
    It's a classic first album: A band unpretentiously tangling various genres they--or even listeners--thought would never sound so brilliant together.
  3. No Ripcord
    80
    Overall, a fine album, self-released or not.

    My favorite album of all time. The lyrics are clever, and the music is addicting to say the very least. The vocalist's voice changes perfectly with the music, and his singing style is so unique that it never gets old. It's a crime that this band isn't more popular.… Expand
