Under The RadarParc Avenue was carefully constructed to open your eyes to the subtle beauty of everyday life and it suceeds effortlessly. [Spring 2008, p.84]
-
The lyrics are blunt and relatable, and their song construction is arguably on par with some of the greatest names rock music has ever known
-
Plants and Animals may not be the first band to put Montreal on the musical map, but, with this album's there's-no-place-like-home vibe, they are certainly the first to celebrate it so warmly
-
In the end, Parc Avenue finds a band creating some amazing music, but still putting out some feelers along the way.
-
The record has a sizeable amount of drama or gravitas as well.
-
Though Parc Avenue is undeniably epic, Plants And Animals take a casual approach to their sound, stuffing the songs with structural shifts rather than browbeating us with grandiose statements.
-
It is their failure to do little beyond noodle energetically and evoke the work of others that dooms Parc Avenue to mediocrity.

KurtC.Apr 19, 2008These guys are ambitious. Three friends from high-school and college started up the folk-prog/post-classic-rock Plants and Animals (PA) up on Canada
