    Expertly produced by Jason Perry and with not an ounce of fat on its bones, this is an album that manages to be often very good indeed, if not quite great. [2 Apr 201, p.50]

    Hope is the soundtrack to the summer you've not yet had, and from here it sounds like it might be the best one yet.

    Solid and relatively consistent, Hope is better than a "finding their feet" experiment, yet that is ultimately what it is.

    Hope delivers the sort of soaring melodies and driving riffs eschewed by their emo contemporaries. [May 2011, p.115]

    Hope is their third studio album and touted as their step up. In truth, it comes on in leaps and bounds as much as it trips and stumbles along the way.
