    A lyrical and musical knockout, spearheaded by the miraculous 'Fools,' Visiter could be one of the best albums of the year. [Spring 2008, p.82]

  2. Delusions of Adequacy
    90
    The Dodos have shaped and formed a superb blend of intricate drumming, remarkable acoustic guitar and touching vocals--this is truly something exceptional.
  3. NOW Magazine
    60
    Sometimes abruptly but always skilfully, these rhythms drag and push the record to its limit on the existential moaning of the album's closer, God?

    Granted, there haven't been many amazing releases out yet this year, but this is definitely in the running for album of the year.

    It's awesome when an album can be amazing without making you work for it. Like, for instance, this one.
