-
Demented, sloppy, brilliant, and above all a great way to spend three-quarters of an hour.
-
While it requires some patience, The Maginot Line is far from impenetrable.
-
If new album The Maginot Line... is decidedly less sentimental or cohesive in tone than its predecessors, it's all the braver for it.
-
The Maginot Line has a title almost as dreary and foreboding as The North Sea had, a sense of vast futility and inescapable fate, and like that first album, the title belies the often bright and sparkling parts of the music.
-
The Maginot Line, for all its ambition, exudes a warmth that the chilly and foreboding The North Sea tended to lack.
