    Margot seems abundant in earnestness, pulling together hooky, shoegaze rifts ("Disease Tobacco Free") with dulcet guitar tunes ("Frank"), Tim Kasher lyricism ("The Devil" and a lonely piano ballad ("Christ"). [No. 86, p.56]

    In the end, what we have is a record that pushes towards an extremely promising new direction while still managing to maintain the band's adored personality.
