    The ease of the instrumentation and the hushed vocals do their part to loosen you up as the music whisks you away to the innocence of childhood and teenage dreams that have never left the recesses of your mind.

    Despite being monstrously homogenous and boring, The Fallen Leaf Pages is too much of a melodic accomplishment to dismiss.
  3. Splendid

    The songs on Fallen Leaf Pages are all played at roughly the same glacial pace and share a very mellow, thoughtful and regret-filled vibe. Some listeners will find them repetitive, even tedious.

    Their drowsy lullabies and minor-key melodies are now so commonplace... that much of it seems unremarkable. [Dec 2005, p.109]

    The Fallen Leaf Pages settles comfortably into the band's canon, delivering no surprises, no gimmicks, no gags, no quirks and no affectations.
  6. Junkmedia
    60
    The Radar Brothers have been called "pastoral," "wandering" and "spacey." Their latest, The Fallen Leaf Pages, adds nothing new to this mix of descriptors.

    Put simply, this music is slow, the same slow soggy tempo the whole way through.

It's an examination of spiritual redemption during these trying times - very deep, very beautiful, breathtaking at times, and the best work the Radar Bros. have ever done. It's the most spiritually enlightening album since Sufjan's Seven Swans. I am grateful to be a human alive to hear this masterwork.… Expand
