    Manchester Orchestra epitomise generic indie rock music. It all feels a little bit put on. Lyrically, it's not too bad, but there just doesn't seem to be anything special about this rock piece that would otherwise hold a listener's attention, certainly not on this album.

    With Nothing, Manchester Orchestra have created what will ineveitably be regarded as one of the landmark releases of 2009, and more noticeable they've exceeded the hype that's surrounded them for nearly three years. [May 2009, p.109]

    With this foulmouthed, backsliding rock, Hull and his flock do Dixie real proud.
  3. The unabashed emotion in their all-out approach will surely appeal to fans of raw yet sentimental Southern rock, Weezer and Modest Mouse followers, and angst-ridden teens.
