JeangJul 3, 2009What is the BIG fuss about. Music is in the #*+tters! Does anybody want to write and perform GOOD stuff anymore!!! This music has been getting a lot of buzz who is listening and leading the music purchasers down a wacky path.

DaveTJun 18, 2009I also don't understand what all the fuss is about. Intricate arrangements and woodsy, pastoral vocals does not equal great songs. Trendy. Snoozers.

BrettJJul 18, 2009I don't get it. Did you guys get paid to post these reviews? These guys can barely play their instruments, the mix is bad, and the lyrics don't make sense. Check out the latest Dream Theater album if you want to hear good instrumentation and great storytelling for lyrics.

Awards & Rankings
-
Ambitious yet restrained, elegant yet exciting, Veckatimest is an endlessly-rewarding album which seems destined to vie with Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion for the title of the year's best.
-
The album dips and tips and ultimately soars as a result, Rossen and company having turned near-disaster into sonic triumph.
-
Even as they feature orchestras, women's choirs, and Beach House singer Victoria Legrand on Veckatimest, the album is still an intimate, ascetic affair.
