Sep 26, 2010I love this album! I find it so uplifting! Its just something to listen to when you just feel like sitting back and being entertained. Such a bold album by a very bold band paid off in the end. 10 out of 10 and much praise from me!

Nov 30, 2010The best album of 2010. A blunt statement, for a blunt album, and blunt it is indeed. Not only is it trippy and bizarre, it's also very aware. Unlike it's predecessor, False Priest knows exactly what it is, and even though it's not quite as masterful as Skeletal Lamping, it's more than just a worthy follow up.

Sep 22, 2010I want to say that this album is better than it should be, but when I look back through the full Montreal catalogue, I remember that this is a band with a hell of a lot of ideas about a few subjects, and a very rehearsed and disciplined sound that has been cultivated over 12 or so years. This particular LP is just really very good.

Jan 13, 2013Fantastic improvement from Skeletal Lamping. His collaboration with Brian Eno seems to have paid off. Great for more than a few listens. Great melodies and vocal performance by Barnes.

Jan 11, 2011On False Priest, Brion drastically widens the canvas, giving the music a newfound clarity, symphonic sweep and thick low-end.

Jan 5, 2011Some will surely find this preachy, yucky, or technologically compromised. I'm just happy I can say amen.

Dec 23, 2010While some may regret Barnes's toning-done of quirkiness or ambition, False Priest plays to his best qualities while minimizing his weaker ones.
