    Great record. Very epic. Wish it was longer. Some songs have a little cheese at the beginning they beef out into a great track. Get their first 2 records. Plus search out the Vinyl only release. great sound. These guys should tour with Bob Dylan

    The perfection of this CD is unvailed the more one listens to it. Saw their live on-stage performance which cemented my rating.

    I don't think its quite as good as previous albums, but after seeing them live I can't not love it.

    It may be a remarkably summery album, but it has enough charm and depth for year-round listening.

    Second-rate Shins. [Aug 2005, p.164]

    [It has] a woozy Beulah-plays-Beach Boys vibe.
