Jul 3, 2013One of the best albums ever made. Period. FR ability to share a story and a feeling without appearing pretentious is a rare thing only a handful of artists posses. No description can accurately capture what this album is.

TimM.Aug 4, 2008Hands down, album of the year. Every full-length song would be a standout on any other record. Just a remarkable collection of songs.

WillSDec 7, 2008Such a complete album from back to front, has neigh a boring track or moment... one of my favorites from 2008 and has staying power.

EthelB.May 14, 2008Not since the Smiths has listening to someone be miserable been so rewarding. Modern Leper is the pop gem from the album, but track after track pull you in with their tender folky heart and leave you reeling with a electric crashing finish. Bound to be on Best of '08 lists.

GeorgeB.May 6, 2008Didn't think it was possible for them to improve on their first album. oh boy was I wrong!

MikeM.May 8, 2008Absolutely breath taking. It's nearly 4 in the morning and i can't (check it, I don't want to) go to bed. I'd much rather listen to this Scottish band until the sun rises.

CraigC.Jun 4, 2008Such an honest, emotional album of thought provoking and inspiring music. It is rare to find a gem like this. Some songs are better than others but all are great. I highly recommend this album.

kenrFeb 16, 2009Stupendous 2nd album. The about to be released Live rendition of this album, titled "Quietly Now", is even so much better. Stripped down and bare; Modern Leper is astounding.Where some of the songs on Midnight Organ Fight didn't quite shine or show their true colours, on Quiet Now they sparkle with soul, heartfelt passion and radiant warmth!.

Perfect for a person who enjoys light/slow indie music. he lead singers voice is just beautiful and soothing. This album has gotten my through everything over the past years. It doesn't get old. It's nice Scottish indie music. Very beautiful in my opinion.

Dec 15, 2011This is easily one of the, if not the, best album of the year. Modern Leper is up there with the best songs of the decade. The Scottish accent provides a wonderful change and if you're looking for a twist on indie/folk/alt. get this album, you won't regret it.

Jul 13, 2018Might be the most emotional album from Frightened Rabbit and it's **** beautiful.

Here there can be no snobbish derision and calls of 'selling out' or playing to the average man; in creating an album showcasing the very best of the band’s talents they have created one so perfectly fit for, as Scott so vividly puts, “the soft, soft static” of popular radio.
-
The Midnight Organ Fight is sharper, more polished, and better in parts than "Sing the Greys." There’s only one unfortunate downside. This sharper, more polished effort displays fewer of the things that made the first album so enjoyable.
-
Whether or not you choose to accept it, the FACT is that Scotland's own Hutchinson brothers have created a sweet and powerful collection of tunes with The Midnight Organ Fight.
