Aug 25, 2014Each of the nine songs here (this album, unlike Why There Are Mountains or Lenses Alien, feels less like a suite and more like a collection of individual songs working together toward a theme) merits extensive and attentive lyrical consideration, though such an analysis deserves a treatment not feasible in a standard-length review.

Aug 20, 2014Cymbals Eat Guitars certainly have done right with LOSE; it’s an impeccably beaten, teary-eyed but smiling document to a frighteningly exhilarating time of one’s life and beacon to march onward--momentous to anyone in their 20s, and even us still neurotic old guys.

Aug 25, 2014The band may love the sounds of Built to Spill and Superchunk a little too much, but they’re also far too adventurous to settle for apery, least of all on LOSE. It’s their best work yet.

Alternative PressAug 20, 2014It all makes for a remarkable, incredibly moving piece of work. [Sep 2014, p.106]

MagnetSep 18, 2014This third LP corrals sophomore sprawler Lenses Alien without killing its spirit. [No. 113, p.53]

Aug 25, 2014The band swings for the fences with the first two songs.
-
Aug 26, 2014Handspringing between the rowdy folk-punk antics of "XR" and the sweetly sordid "Child Bride," it's a riveting elegy.

May 8, 2020Other than the drums being a little too open sounding this album is beautiful. Get the lyric book and settle into the layers of the guitar.
