    The songs are mature but not boring; nicely layered but not overproduced; well executed but not sterile. [May 2006, p.164]

    We, the Vehicles not only exceeds its predecessor, but serves as a corrective to every one of its deficiencies.

    Sure, emo bands cry over their myriad problems all the time, many of which are delivered either as mopey confessionals or with Gerard Way-ian gothenticity, but rarely are they so post-apocalyptic.

    Maritime won't be able to distinguish themselves from others, but they have an amazing ability to create songs like "Tearing Up the Oxygen," which as a pop-play on words with a sense of realism. [Apr 2006, p.97]

    We, The Vehicles is the perfect follow-up to Glass Floor. This one actually rocks more like a DP rather than TPR album. The rhythm section is dead on. Its a shame that Eric is leaving the band.… Expand

    Didn't hear the first one, but ya, I dig it, Straight ahead rocky pop...nifty guitar work and melodic..always a winning combination.

    this album is pleasantly quirky, but these guys just strike me as lightweights.
