    As long as the Low Anthem discount the idea that this music was once meant to stir the blood, rile the soul, and actually be exciting, it's always going to be historically inaccurate in a way no amount of sepia-toned ambience can overcome.

    For all its romance, this is a record at the sharp end of mortality. [March 2011, p. 96]

    Notes reverberate and gently die while voices float in the ether, creating a sense of reverence and calm for most of the album.
