LizzyMOct 16, 2005How can people call this album a masterpiece? I think it is ok but it is definitely NOT something that people would love for 5-10 yrs. This alubm could be cool if it is played at a lounge bar or some party. But.. it is not more than that. This album is alright but it is over rated.

All told, it's another triumph for a band whose creative peak seems to defy gravity with each passing year.
-
Even though the manic intensity that characterized work like Reveille is missed a little here, The Runners Four is still a far cry from typical indie rock; in fact, it sounds more like one of Deerhoof's older albums played at half-speed than anything else.

The Runners Four manages to capture the unbridled intensity and utter joy these four carry across in a live setting.
