Mar 9, 2011Definitely soft on the ears. It's got great harmonies and the lyrics are something you can really relate too. The vocals are also wonderful. Many great tracks on this album like "The Con" and "Knife Going In". All In All, Great little harmonies and Tegan & Sara have great vocals. B

Oct 21, 2010Tegan and Sara are amazing. Each song is so well done and unique. Tegan writes and sings the more popular catchy tracks and Sara writes more abstract and different. Together they balance each other perfectly and not to mention their voices meld brilliantly. A fantastic album.

JaneL.Mar 30, 2008This album is ridiculously perfect. Possibly my favorite album, ever. It's almost eerie how an album can be so diverse but cohesive at the same time. I think they've tried almost everything on this album, from electro-rap ("Are You Ten Years Ago") to folky ballads ("Call It Off") to good ol' pop punk ("Hop A Plane"), and it works. It just flows from track to track. Wow.

BorisR.Feb 6, 2008I own all 4 Tegan and Sara Albums, and this one is still good, yet none have ever been to par with the first, i believe.

BRAug 20, 2007Tegan and Sara find 14 ways to reveal and engage in these short, emotionally intelligent, catchy pop songs. A consistently strong album. What's not to like?

CarissaM.Aug 18, 2007Amazing composition, amazing sound, amazing lyrics. Possibly the best album from them and the best album of 2007.

oldmJul 31, 2007Soul-ripping. Lyrically, emotional. Fantastic chords and use of a variety of instruments. Very different than previous work, but more sophisticated and still T&S. Great stuff.

nickcJul 29, 2007Flavor of the month indie-pop bullshit. A couple of school-girls who want to be special. Any girl indie band you can find on mysapce sounds exactly the same.

RexJul 27, 2007I am a little let down by this album. Good production, but it just didnt have the abundance of shining moments displayed by their previous work.

mattaJul 26, 2007Feist kicks this album's ass, no question about it. I only make the comparison because they are women canadian artists with some similarities in musical style. However, this is a solid album and, as critics have said, probably their best album yet.

katetJul 26, 2007Absolutely lovely. It was well worth the wait.

othosJul 26, 2007It's really ironic that Death Cab's major label debut was such a disappointment but that the Decemberists' and Tegan and Sara's moves to the big stage are so excellent with Chris Walla behind the board. Maybe the other guys in DCFC should defer a bit more.

The songs on the album complement each other, play off the other's strengths, and make the record very much an entity, instead of simply a collection of tracks, setting it off as an impressive step forward in their already commendable discography.
-
The Con a welcome addition to summer playlists and to Tegan & Sara's promising catalog.
