Alternative PressThey've evolved into a leaner and meaner rock machine. [March 2003, p.98]
-
This is big rock, powerful, aggressive, and impeccably played and produced.
-
The band's grasp of dynamics, both musical and emotional, has deepened, resulting in Long Knives, their most nuanced album yet, with a much more understated approach than on past efforts.
-
The conversational rawness that drove the previous albums is gone, and the band loses something as a result.
-
It's not a bad album -- it's just not particularly notable.
-
Some of Knives' tunes suffer from [vocalist Caithlin] De Marrais' oversold sentiments.
-
Ultimately, it's the unbearable triteness of the lyrics that does Long Knives Drawn in.
