    Darkness at Noon is the most exciting record to be put out this semester.
  2. Stylus Magazine

    What is remarkable is the way that they have made a recording that can remain entertaining and engaging, resist becoming background, even while leaving you with the nagging sense that it was about nothing but the act of musical reference itself.
  3. Dusted Magazine
    80
    Darkness at Noon thrives on pushing and pulling the listener from emotional peak to valley.

    An absorbing, exuberant flourish of outwardly incompatible genres. [Apr 2005, p.122]

    Horrific it's not, but with its cover of protest song "Portlandtown" and Dubya-inspired lyrics on "Laughter In The Dark", neither is it an innocent pleasure. [Apr 2005, p.105]

    Is similarly turn of the last century electronic, but in a darker and less slice and diced way. [May 2005, p.92]

    More carnival claustrophobia than world tour.
