    A few... tracks, such as “(It’s A) Departure,” will stick with you, but Putting the Days to Bed falls shy of expectations. [Summer 2006]

    Occasionally, Roderick gets in the way of himself and makes the proceedings more difficult than they should be. [Sep 2006, p.214]

It's easy to convert new fans when a band is just this darn good. This album is more pop than the last and has a strong energy from start to finish.
