jamestMay 10, 2004i am sure i have heard this sound before from a combination of some of my all time favourites in my high school years -- a little new order perhaps mixed in with some other stuff -- very tight. love it.

jonicOct 4, 2003i love it so much it reminds me of my college years when me and my boyfriend were making the most out of our allowance. the album makes me feel good now that i have to make my own living and loving. it truly has the best love songs i've ever listened to. i can't grow tired of elevator love letters. Now there's reason to love canadians after all.

GrantPSep 14, 2003a solid album, more ambitiously crafted than their debut, but the results are somehow less convincing and immediate. if you can find it, check out their first album (Nightsongs) first. i prefer it.

ScottHNov 23, 2004There are some really, really amazing songs on this CD. There are also some really horrible ones. If you like this, you HAVE to check out their debut, Nightsongs. It is flat-out amazing, and much more solid overall than this CD.

ACFeb 28, 2007Stars are quickly becoming one of my favorite bands out there right now. They really know how to make great music with simple narrative lyrics, and soft but nuanced vocals. So many amazing songs to listen to over and over again. Beautiful, eloquent indie pop for anyone who truly loves music. One of the best albums I've heard in years, if not ever. I Highly recommend.

Awards & Rankings
-
More New Order and Saint Etienne than Smiths, and with male and female vocals, the band comes across as an electro-pop Belle and Sebastian.
-
While the orchestration and production are impeccable and finely crafted, it's not hard to pick out influences from the 1980s, ranging from brooding rock to pulsing synthetic pop.
-
It all ends up sounding very expressive, in a blurry sort of way.
