    Listening to this album alongside the supplementary book was the most fulfilling music listening experience I have ever had. Ideally, the material in there will be available in the form of HQ scans one day and I implore anybody who has the opportunity to follow along with the music. Truly a masterpiece.

    Not as good as their last two albums, but still immensely great. Seems like this band can do no wrong.

    Even without probing that deeply it's clear that this is a phenomenal album that not only transcends genres but which also only feels like the next phase of a career already 13 years short that has a long and exciting future ahead.

    Fresh and ambitious without taking a step too far, Sister Cities is the Wonder Years' most fully realized work, and an artistic statement that deserves to be taken seriously.

    A record that feels completely at ease with itself. [Mar 31 2018, p.53]
