Each song is snappy, playful, and stylish, and that's what makes Dancing with Daggers work so well.
-
Bountiful melodies were promised on The Constant Lover. On Dancing with Daggers, the band delivers, and with greater sonic oomph.
-
They've developed an impressive sense of craft, and it seems they can only go up from here.
-
MagnetTaut, catchy songs ripe with beginner's pluck. [#71, p.105]
-
In small doses it’ll absolutely cure what ails you. Unfortunately, taken in one album-sized chunk, the effect tends to wear thin—a doubly damning criticism since Dancing With Daggers is only ten seconds shy of being thirty minutes long.
-
UncutTheir debut's brevity and sharp hooks suggest a band with an acute sense of purpose. [Aug 2006, p.100]
-
Aside from a couple tracks with standout hooks (Wild Gardens, The Better Plan), their songs are forgettable.
