  1. A rare mix of intimacy and experimentalism, Too Old to Die Young will resonate with indie rock fans who know what that album title really means.
  2. It's definitely worth checking out if you're into noisy, low-key rock and inventive guitar work.

    Tall Firs are becoming a bit anthemic; stand up and salute. [Winter 2008, p.94]
  4. In spite of its blatant Sonic Youth biting--which is actually kind of refreshing--there are a lot of gorgeous and even heart-stopping moments on Too Old To Die Young. It's just a shame so few of its strengths can figure out how to work together.

    There's something very likable about this album....The problem with Too Old To Die Young is that it's too familiar to sound truly fresh. [May 2008, p.65]
