    This is CocoRosie's best long-player yet, and a sure contender for album of the year.
  2. Under The Radar

    There's still plenty to stir your senses, even if it more often than not has a generic hip-hop beat running beneath it. [#17, p.83]

    Ghosthorse and Stillborn tends toward lazy, meandering nothings.

    CocoRosie is consistantly stunning and each one of their albums has been among itst year's best. The Sierra sisters have honed in on their strenghts and crafted a very cohessiive record that delves further into their experimental production methods and poignat charm. A lot of people throw out 10's on the metacritic user circuit like it's nothing, but I don't give take perfect scores lightly. This is very deserving of a perfect score.… Expand

    I don't think the badly-reviewing critics are accurate. This is much less annoying than their previous album, Noah's Ark. Though over-the-top, as they always are, I think this is their best yet. Well written, purer cleaner and more refined recording. it's just a lot more enjoyable than La Maison or Noah's Ark. By far. best tracks: Japan, Werewolf, Raphael worst tracks: none.… Expand
