    A consistent album on the whole that nicely compliments their back catologue. Slightly less hookier than their past album, "Know By Heart", however, the single "She's Half" will be a fixture on many mixed cd compilations in the future.

    Good album, much better than Promise of Love. I don't quite understand the comparison to Know by Heart however, if it sounds like any of their albums it would be the Golden Band. Loved the instrumental track especially, If you've listened to AmAnSet before, then you know what this album is like and you know that it will be good.

    American Analog Set have been accused of writing the same song over and over - and over - again, and Set Free isn't immune to that.

    It shimmers and sulks, adding a rich dimension to the group's already delicious sound.

    Set Free gives 2001's Know by Heart - critically acclaimed and widely regarded as Amanset's masterpiece - a serious run for its money.
