GeorgeBushAug 3, 2004This album is one of the most unique albums i've ever heard. it is a production that was made not with the intentions of being a top 40 best seller, but made to celebrate both music and life.

MattWJul 12, 2004This cd is AMAZING, don't belive the critics. This cd pumps me up like no other. It is so well produced, specially compared with their last album. I guess this music isn't for everyone, but if you liked the first cd, you'll love this one. There just simply isn't a dull moment on it. 10 out of 10

BobbyAAug 28, 2005What a truly incredible album. It really is an adventure in listening, and an adventure that can be continuously be repeated, with new marvels being found each time in the marvellous instrumentation, glorious harmonies, breathtaking climaxes and awe-inspiring lyrics. A classic.

JeremyJul 15, 2004Together We're Heavy is a beautiful album and a nice follow up to The Beginning Stages Of... This is a band that enjoys making ORIGINAL music. While somewhat awkward at times you quickly snap to attention when 24 voices harmonioulsy belt into one of their joyous hymns. True music fans will love this album.

PaulHJul 3, 2005It's no revelation but I really enjoyed it, better then their first "overrated" album.

KevinAJul 14, 2004Although the debut was tighter (and ultimately better), this one has many more tricks and sounds better through the headphones. Just when you think it's beginning to drag, it perks your ears up with some amazing pop harmony.

clockoutAug 29, 2004Anyone who gave this album a 10 should listen to Flaming Lip's 'The Soft Bulletin' first and realize that, for this kind of music, it's already been done - better. This album is the equivalent of watching soft core porn.

JonWJul 27, 2004yeah it's good shtick - good sonics on the album but the whole damn thing get's cloying after a while - high school musical-like inspirational music is not revolutionary! and something that rips all the big symphonic britpop stuff too at that - how many songs about the sun and sky can one take? it does get too saccharine...one trick pony

JayD.Jul 15, 2004It's the aural equivalent of a sticky-sweet triple fudge sundae with lots of pretty, multicolored sprinkles on top: good for the first bite or two, but it'll leave you feeling sickly after a few more swallows. Stick to the Hidden Cameras if you want to listen to pop church music with a lot more bite.

The problem with rapture is that it's exhausting, so Together is best enjoyed a few tracks at a time.

Q MagazineTogether We're Heavy's transcendent qualities grow as it flows onward, and the sheer musical ambition of the Spree's pet sound finally, really defies cynicism. [Aug 2004, p.116]

Thankfully, the music overpowers DeLaughters weak voice.
