  1. Garden Window shows how a band can be just as destructive without cranking ones volumes up.

    Garden Window is, by and large, a successful 11-track record that scrapes a wide palette to enhance each nuance tastefully, movingly, manically well.
  3. 80
    Garden Window's individual songs could stand to find better cohesion, but the band's quest for answers packs a consistent thematic punch, and certain musical moments that surface as a result of their boiling frustration are just spellbinding.
  4. 75
    This barrage of relentless noise and pummeling rhythms, when coupled with Garden Window's amorphous arrangements, can make the album claustrophobic, monotonous, and overwhelming. But the record's redeemed by its range.

I've seen them twice andI'd say, easily the best rock album of 2011, in my opinion and most likely the best band you've never heard of. I've seen them twice and wasn't disappointed. I love this band and I hope they continue to succeed! Expand
