  2. Negative: 0 out of 18
  1. Receivers finds the band slowing down the tempo and more fully exploring the textures and nuances of its dense, multi-layered soundscapes.
  2. The album's generative "concept" is as strange and incredible as its music.
  3. This new four-piece lineup seems to allow for a more diverse sonic palate with only a minimal amount of lost vigor. [Fall 2008, p.78]
