    The band have transcended to a newfound comfort, creating the most natural music of their career. [Jun 2015, p.97]
  2. The Room’s Too Cold may have the memories, The Mother, the Mechanic, and the Path may have the ambition, In Currents may have the excitement, but Imbue is the best album that The Early November have ever released.

    The best songwriting of their rollercoaster career. [9 May 2015, p.53]

    All in all, it's an accessible ride and if this is your first rodeo with them, then Imbue isn't such a bad jumping-on point. However, it doesn't hold up to the young days where The Early November were immature mavericks letting loose.

    The album starts off relatively strong, with hard-hitting choruses in "Narrow Mouth" and upbeat, catchy verse lines in "Magnolia," but lose momentum quickly thereafter.
