    An important, modestly beautiful album that is both heartbreaking and conversely optimistic--an exceptional piece of work that begs to be discovered. [#7]

    Weightlifting isn't unusually exceptional; it simply keeps the chain of magnificence unbroken. [#12, p.101]

    An absolute masterpiece - traverses the entire spectrum of emotion, leaving the listener to hit "repeat" again and again. The album epitomizes this band perfectly - gorgeous lilting lyrics with layered guitars. A Gem!… Expand

    Brilliant, if a litte too melancholy. Could use a couple of more uptempo numbers like the opening song. Otherwise, good contemplative, shoe gazing pop music.… Expand

    Missing the tongue twisting lyrics of past albums but still an easy listen just not as much fun to listen to. Every other album is a miracle so hopefully TCS have another one in them. Not to say there is not some excellent tracks and a band that does not get its fair share of airplay.… Expand
