    This folkie indie-pop band doesn't slam you with hooks on its fourth album--everything is catchy in a modest, reasonable way.

    Much of The Ruminant Band comes sunny side up. [Sep 2009, p.90]

    This is definitely the best Fruit Bats record thus far. I have always thought they had some great tunes, but now I feel like it's full-blown.
