KennyMSep 5, 2006The most lyrically and musically progressive album that has come out in a long time...even if you don't dig the direction cursive has gone in since the ugly organ, you must agree this album is epic, well-written, and important to the advancement of alternative rock...and it has some bitchin' horns.

JohnNSep 1, 2006Powerful and writhing. An interesting and necessary idealogical attack on America's heartland. Still, I miss Greta's haunting strings.

CodyKillerAug 23, 2006When i first read that they added a horn section I shuttered. I then actually go the album threw it on and was amazed on how well the horns were used. I feel the album is stronger that Ugly Organ, and is a great step for them.

AndyAug 25, 2006By any other band, this album would be incredible. However, Happy Hollow just doesn't match the perfection of their three previous full lenghts; Storms of Early Summer, Domestica, and Ugly Organ. The music is great but there is a slight fall-off in the lyrical content; the political views set forth I completely agree with, but the execution is a little weak on certain songs.

Filter[Kasher's] storytelling is still right up there with the very highest of Saddle-sitters. [#21, p.97]

BlenderMusically, his furiously gear-shifting punk-pop, full of horn blasts and arty production tricks... never fails to rock the sermon. [Aug 2006, p.107]

The painful punning of Bad Sects is just one of the many cringeworthy moments on an album that sees grown men wallowing in a teenage wasteland from which they really should have moved on.
