  1. Remind Me Where the Light Is ultimately concludes as the luminous successor to "Trading Twilight for Daylight"--bright where that album was nocturnal, open-armed where "Twilight" was introspective, and altogether illustrative of Great Northern's growth as songwriters and performers.
  2. This is an album that’s extremely clean--the spic-and-span sonics might be the work of producer Michael Patterson. Even if it might help Great Northern achieve some broader success, all that cleansing has buffed away much of the band’s character.

    I've been a big fan of Metacritic for the past three years and never felt compelled enough to write a review until now. Maybe it because I've been a big fan of Metacritic for the past three years and never felt compelled enough to write a review until now. Maybe it because I am huge fan of their first album and EP, but I couldn't disagree more with the direction of these poor reviews. If you ever get a chance to see them live, do it. Will it change your life? No. But they're a great band that continues to put out consistent, beautiful music. Full Review »
