    This is a solid album with some very catchy hooks and upbeat music transitions within the songs. There is a lot of great harmonizing by the singers. Probably the best sing-along album so far in 2014, and maybe the most under-appreciated.

    Their best song, "Divisionary," is a peaceful song that rightly holds up all of the weight of the CD on it's mighty shoulders. I thoroughly enjoyed the catchy beats and amazing music that this album had to offer, but again, the album's main song was simply amazing.

    There's a deliciously tangy freshness to the massed voices and acoustic thrum. [Apr 2014, p.103]

    What underlies the handclaps and radiant melodies on their sophomore album Divisionary are songs that noticeably delve deeper into philosophical and darker themes than the wide-eyed optimism that engulfed their debut, and marks the evolution the band have undergone.

    Occasionally. the jaunty positivity treads too far into Edward Sharpe territory and all you’re left craving is a healthy slice of cynicism.
