    Never has Aloha sounded so tight, so completely in control of its sound, so assured of that sound.

    Like a computer geek with a romantic streak, Ohio's Aloha straddle the line between trad songcraft and proggy virtuosity.

    Each moment is devoted to the continuing shifts in dynamics and song, and Aloha sounds sharper than ever before.
  5. Lost At Sea
    80
    While it starts a bit slowly, Aloha’s fourth proper album is filled with signature pieces that are stunningly relentless.
  6. Pitchfork

    While Some Echoes starts out as a good album, by the end it reveals itself as the best thing they've ever done.
  7. Under The Radar

    It's prog without pretense, pop with a brain. [#13, p.83]

    A great album, full of excellent songs. "Come Home" is one of the best songs this year. I love the marimba.
