    At its best “The Silent Hours” is a robust, reasonably straight ahead rock record and at its worst, a lumpen, forgettable distraction.

    Such earnestness makes for a terrifically hard slog. [Aug 2004, p.93]

    Oddly for an album so big in scope... it's very intimate and confessional. [3 Jul 2004, p.64]
