    Noises charms with refreshing indie-flavored pop-rock fare. [11 Feb 2005, p.63]
  2. Their darkly whimsical music has ties to the sweetly strange work of '90s groups like the Sundays, Sixpence None the Richer, and (especially) Belly, but there simply aren't many bands that sound like Eisley around in the 2000s.
  3. The spine of nearly every one of their grainy black songs glows with a luminous vocal melody.
  4. The drawback is a lack of diversity which keeps those sunny, delicious moments from having the impact they should.
  5. Eisley has developed its own unique, almost anti-populist sound, and a healthy, inquisitive sensitivity, to boot.

    It is a beautiful debut, but no one would fault the DuPrees for changing it up a bit next time. [#9]

    This album is definately the most amazing album I've heard in years. I can still listen to it all the way through and hear new things. This album is definately the most amazing album I've heard in years. I can still listen to it all the way through and hear new things. The idea that this is a one step up from My Little Ponies is both rediculous and offensive. I can't believe a magazine would write such a thing. Full Review »

    I've never had a CD where almost every track blows you away. Even after repeated listens, Roon Noises elicits joy.

    A brilliant album from start to finish. Give this one a listen. You won't be disappointed.
