    Frightened Rabbit is mostly content to continue exploring the vein it tapped a couple of years ago. Fans will need to be slightly more patient, but they'll ultimately be well rewarded.

    Any listener who has experienced the emotions associated with a romantic split should appreciate the album.
  3. No Ripcord

    This isn't a bad album, and these quotes are by no means deal breakers, but it is a little telling that an album about "feeling lost" suffers from a distinct lack of focus or specific vision.
