They have smarts and energy to burn as well as a bunch of songs that are right up there with anything Interpol, the Rapture, or Hot Hot Heat have done.
-
On a musical level these new songs are clearly identifiable as the Poster Children's work, but the band covers a broad array of lyrical turf on No More Songs About Sleep and Fire.
-
A vibrant, engrossing album by a seasoned band whose best years are still ahead of them.

Alternative PressThis is a seminar in how to age gracefully and still rock like demons. [Mar 2004, p.106]
-
The Posterkids sound positively ageless through No More Songs about Sleep and Fire, not having missed a flailing beat through the intervening years of decreasing tempos.
-
For longtime fans, it will likely be a welcomed batch of new material. The uninitiated, however, might wonder what all the fuss is about.
-
In 37 minutes, there isn't a single moment when the music really hits with conviction.
