    A varied, flowing work. Not their strongest overall, but "Love Detective" may be their best single yet.

    Arab Strap's best CD by far. Not too much going on lyrically, but the music more than makes up for it.

    Easily its most lushly orchestrated and diverse output yet.

    'The Red Thread' is a frequently beautiful record, as dark and twisted and funny as anything the band have ever produced.

    Five years later, it's easy to be blasé about [Aidan] Moffat's disgruntled first-person narratives. [#154, p.68]
