  1. Death Vessel have come up with a uniformly bland set of delicate ditties for Nothing Is Precious Enough For Us that are lightly strummed in a way that’s so frightfully fey, it could make José González want to rip Thibodeau’s guitar from his hands and smash it against the wall John Belushi-style.
  2. A pair of great songs open the record. If the rest of the album can’t quite live up to their quality, it’s not that much of a let-down. Just listen to the start again.
  3. Though Nothing's eerie lullabies are sweet in their own sing-songy way, the album's more energetic moments only serve as a frustrating indicator of Thibodeau's potential—if only he would think outside of his usual (voice) box.
  4. Under The Radar

    Nothing Is Precious Enough For Us is full of processed cafe rock and bland gypsy folk. [Fall 2008, p.80]
