    Any one of the songs listened to isolated from the rest of the album *might* disappoint a first or second time listener, but as an album the songs flow beautifully from one to the next, showing the ups, downs, and in betweens of relationships. From soft and sad pieces talking of loving someone who you could never be with, to heartbroken and harsh songs of a relationship tearing a part,Any one of the songs listened to isolated from the rest of the album *might* disappoint a first or second time listener, but as an album the songs flow beautifully from one to the next, showing the ups, downs, and in betweens of relationships. From soft and sad pieces talking of loving someone who you could never be with, to heartbroken and harsh songs of a relationship tearing a part, this album is definitely worth buying and listening to over...and over...and over.… Expand

    O álbum é totalmente incrível. Conheci essa banda maravilhosa por meio de uma série de televisão e deste então me apaixonei. A sonoridade e o conceito são tão simples mas contam uma história fantástica. Nota 10 para esse álbum incrível.

    Down the Way may be a bit long by 2010’s standards--there are 13 tracks here, none of which is particularly short--but the songs are solid throughout.

    With the most basic tools, the Stones build something lovely and lasting. Roll with them.

    Angus and Julia are, simply, talented musicians—specifically, talented musicians who work exceptionally well together. Nothing has changed there, but what has is a new expansion of their straightforward sound.
