Jul 15, 2023Pretty unique sound. I like how the vocals sound somewhat submerged in the instrumental, not sure what others think about that but I personally enjoy it

ColbyCMar 1, 2007This has to be the greatest album I have ever heard. It is kinda short, but it's the first album I have ever liked every single track on. It's easy to listen to, and many of the songs especially AFK strike a chord with me.

JoshuaKJan 30, 2006The intricate layered melodies are irrisistable, deep, brooding, and moving.

JosephMDec 30, 2005There are occasional problems with enunciation that keep the lyrics from having truly great value (until you look them up), but the sound of the band itself, in particular the instruments coming together with such a harmony that Pinback has, is amazing. Pinback is one of the greatest bands of all times, and this cd is the final, ultimate culmination of their abilities.

KellyPAug 19, 2005Not the best of Pinback I must admit, but a solid album nonetheless. it's pleasing...a bit conservative, but solid- sweet, and simple.

JohnCFeb 5, 2005Some great songs. There are songs on here I could lisen to for hours on end non stop. However the album seems to drift a bit at the end. It just meanders away and you forget where you are.

[Anonymous]Nov 29, 2004hmm it's not the best i have heard. It's not even close. It actually is very terrible.

richardNov 9, 2004One of the best of 2004. "Fortress" may be my song of the year.

KoenDOct 12, 2004This is an amazing album.It is full of beautiful and sophistic vocal harmonies, it's beautifully arranged, and all insturments are in perfect harmony like the radarwork of a swiss clock. It is lush, sophisticated, harmoic and soothing music, and essentiall, it is the perfect pop record. Their best effort yet

It's quite a treat to hear the duo create such refreshingly original music with rock's "standard" instruments.
-
Arguably their best record yet, a logical and accessible realization of a sound they've been developing for more than six years.
-
While Summer in Abaddon features Pinbackās by now trademarked sound and cryptic lyrics with a few nice developments, it falls victim to a sort of malaise of consistently indistinguishable mid-tempo rockers on the second half of an album that starts very strongly.
