    Takes The Strangest Things' dark, occasionally scattershot pop and refines it with sharper songwriting and a slicker approach. [#69, p.100]

    What strikes most is a sense of uncomfortable suspension, and what keeps the album afloat remains a true mystery listen after listen.
  3. Under The Radar
    60
    Neither as good nor as boring as you might think. [#10, p.112]

    Apart from the first song, this album is a majority of troughs. It’s no where near as solid as Longwave’s debut album and even that fell a fair way short of anything their contemporaries were releasing at the time.… Expand
