    House of Love offers an album that will likely satisfy whatever quiet hopes its fans have kept safe for the band.

    It captures their two sides--songs are either rousing with crashing guitars, swirling atmospheres and arresting climaxes or empyrean, indie introspective ballads. [May 2013, p.88]

    The jangle and thrash of Terry Bickers’ guitar and the wistful air of it all could come straight from their self-titled 1988 debut.

    It's hard not to feel a nostalgic pang for their youth. You glimpse it in the chugging riff of A Baby Got Back on Its Feet and in the needling notes of Low Black Clouds, but only PKR maintains the tension.
