  1. Lost At Sea
    94
    This is one for the ages, an album that you will covet, listen to, and live by.
  2. Uncut
    80
    With Drew at the helm, however, it becomes a messier, less wholesome affair, seductively so on 'Lucky Ones' and 'Frightening Lives,' which scamper toward some grubby euphoria like a hal-cut Arcade Fire. [Oct 2007, p.87]

  3. Under The Radar
    80
    Drew's supple but fragile voice--there's eloquence in his mumblings--guitars providing spots of light and color, and enough layered sounds to keep lively what could otherwise become repetitive. [Summer 2007, p.72]

    The best of these songs are easily a match for Broken Social Scene. [Nov 2007, p.106]

    This album gets better with every listen. Picks up right where he left off with It's All Gonna Break. Always been a huge BSS fan. Hope they can all get back together for another album...... Really would love to see the whole group together live again, but that probably won't happen. Glad I got to while I had the chance. Just amazing.… Collapse

    This is an excellent album that would have made for a better follow up to "you forgot..". I don't quite understand the negative reviews. It sounds like a bss record. Some reviews are claiming that he sounds "adrift" and "off on his own". Anyone who has heard this and has some sort of bss listening experience will be more than pleased.… Expand
