    There's little here that's poor, which is the only way to account for its near 80 metacritic rating, but even less that's truly exciting...sometimes I feel the whole album is just setup for the excellent brass lines that close the last song.

    It is astonishing that after a 10-year long affair Arab Strap can make a record as compelling as this.

    Despondent and furious by turns.

    It's feverish, unbalanced, disturbing, and for the most part captivating.
