Ward's talents have never been more persuasively showcased. [1 Sep 2006, p.77]
-
Post-War is easily M. Ward's most accessible album to date, charged with a bouncy spirit.
-
50Whereas previously his songs felt carefully and beautifully crafted, here he seems content to merely plunder a whole host of archaic musical styles and immerse himself in self-congratulatory jams, and a result you end up with a less than satisfying hotchpotch of songs.

JoãoC10This fifth record is as good as his previous efforts, but this time he has a wonderful band to give a wider landscape to his songs. Brilliant.
