90An amazing album. [Mar 2007, p.75]
-
That music so majestically restrained in pace can make your heart beat so quickly is a testament to The Besnard Lakes' focus and ability to coat each millisecond of track time with an utterly captivating sound without ever becoming clogged up with their myriad ideas.
-
Their overarching fingernail-meets-chalkboard eeriness... is what prevents a lapse into the preciousness that sometimes accompanies orchestrated indie rock, making the album a rousing success. [#16, p.90]
