Their change between 2007 and now may be incremental, but it's enough to qualify as a definite improvement on their debut.- Prefix Magazine

Control and ambition can go together, and Meiburg proves that, in the right hands, the combination can yield some exciting results.- Prefix Magazine

It holds its cards close, but it's the kind of album that rewards patience and a willingness to dig into the album's complexity and deeply personal nature.- Prefix Magazine

This record is the sound of a young musician being given the right chance at the right time and knocking it out of the park.- Prefix Magazine

It's a restatement of relevance, a testament to strong songwriting, and ultimately, a legacy enhancer that they desperately needed.- Prefix Magazine

Paralytic Stalks is a record made by a genius or a hoity-toity psychopath depending on your perspective--call it whatever you want, but it certainly isn't boring.- Prefix Magazine

A funeral is a termination, but can also be a clean slate. Lanegan completely "gets" that duality--and wields it expertly.- Prefix Magazine

On the whole, the jams and spaced-out scuzz rock of circa-Sweet Sixteen Royal Trux might most closely represent the vibe of Black Bananas' debut.- Prefix Magazine

If Hotel Sessions had a layer of banished songs or the context of label-drama, that would be one thing, but as it stands it's a very boring, commonplace, and unneeded part of music-biz procedural that never needed the light of day.- Prefix Magazine

What we're left with feels like a big blur--an entertaining and wacked-out trip to Wonderland, but not one that I feel particularly compelled to return to.- Prefix Magazine

Vanity Is Forever is understated and bare, an oxygen-deprived world with only super-sized synths and O'Connor's bleak narratives.- Prefix Magazine

The standout tracks are the featureless "Flame Throwers," "Odds Cracked" and "Auralac Bags," the latter of which boasts a noir-ish, alleyway-chase-scene type of beat.- Prefix Magazine

Provincial is an immensely enjoyable album, to be sure, but the suspicion lingers that it could've been pushed into "career highlight" territory with just an extra little push.- Prefix Magazine

It's encouraging to watch a band shift and grow and manage to stay essentially true to form-such is the case here, as is for the album in entirety.- Prefix Magazine

The sleekness of the production--this is far gauzier than the straight-ahead brilliance of On--can get in the way sometimes.- Prefix Magazine

The Horror's assault is quite capable of speaking for itself, and that's what makes it so memorable.- Prefix Magazine

On Invitation Dominant Legs have all of the parts of a "sound," there's just a little more assembly required.- Prefix Magazine

The 10-track album is heavily front-loaded--while the texture and tone remain relatively consistent, the writing "relaxes" a bit about halfway through, and there's little in the record's second half that's as intensely arresting as any of the aforementioned songs.- Prefix Magazine

Show[s] only a hair's breadth of progress from previous albums. That's not entirely a ruinious outcome, but it's not always an enticing one.- Prefix Magazine

Cloud Nothings have produced a transfixing head rush of a release and one of the well-wrought examples of '90s revivalism.- Prefix Magazine

Finn's best songs are the ones when he's fully in the present, in tune with every emotion and every detail his protagonists might experience during a particular moment.- Prefix Magazine

[Remiddi's] fastidious mentality manages to keep this song suite afloat, even if the sails aren't always full of creative wind.- Prefix Magazine

The album certainly has its moments, but on the whole it's bogged down by too much middling material.- Prefix Magazine

So while this new set of Civil War-era songs is an often beautiful listen, they end up obscuring Kenniff's musical vision rather than illuminating it.- Prefix Magazine

It feels like a resurfacing, like a promise, and it's a grand closer for this classically GBV (collection) album.- Prefix Magazine
