    The Emotional Rescue LP asserts the fact that the band not only has exceptional songwriting talent, but has finally concocted a potent mixture of poppy melodies to complement their core of tranquil notes and minimalist orchestrations.
  2. AllMusic

    A release that seems to present a band on the verge of an artistic breakthrough.

    The emphasis now is on the delicate interplay between acousitc guitars, and vocals which sound somewhere between Jonathan Donahue and Syd Barrett. [#221, p.66]

    this album is pretty haunting....but the standout piece is "awkwardness". that song alone is worth the price of admission.
