    Hills End is so good that in 20 years the discussion about the hot new indie guitar band might well focus on how much they look and sound like DMA’s. It’s an outstanding debut.

    Sure, Hills End peaks fairly early, but the album plateaus in a way that’s inviting, comfortable, and better yet, quite addicting.

    While the tracks on Hill's End never stray too far from the sound evident in the first few notes of the beginning track, they never feel repetitive.

    Hill's End is an album of good songs with good hooks; who could ask for anymore?

    Hills End is an impressive debut for a group that originally began mostly as a songwriting collective than a performance act.

    Recommended if you wish Oasis had released more albums. Very derivative brit-pop sound. That being said there's a couple good songs in here.Recommended if you wish Oasis had released more albums.
