DantheManMar 8, 2005The greatest indie-prog album of all time. This startling debut marries startling experimentalism to remarkable beauty and surprising catchiness. See the Guardian's review for the best summary.

ZapManOct 8, 2005Very intense and tight record and it should be listened with headphones. Best rock record of 2004. I just love it.

EIsqJul 4, 2004a high 8, its got some filler but the stand out tracks are to standy and outy and tracky not to be worthy of an 80

BrianAug 31, 2004These guys can rock. Track 4 and 5 (Nowhere Again, and The Road...) are great, and prefectly placed in the album. The ending track, the title track, is a great finisher. I do take points off for putting the 9 minute song as the opener, though. Overall, a great listen. Got mine on iTunes (with bonus tracks).

JenkoFFeb 14, 2005The album is expertly paced and despite its epic feel sustains its focus throughout -- pretty amazing for a first proper album! Sounds like an 8 on first listen, but your ears eventually unlock the less immediate tracks (like You Are Chains).

They take Pink Floyd psychedelia, Led Zeppelin stomp and Who-inspired choruses and charge them full of big-rock beats, atmospheric keyboards and all kinds of electronic whooshes.
-
Riveting from beginning to end, Now Here Is Nowhere is a delightful record filled with memorable and often astonishing songs, showcasing a young band that has set the foundation for one exciting future.

Too bad FM radio still has its head stuck up its pre-1980 ass, 'cause the album is so FM—so non-single-driven AOR—but in such a cool robot-from-the-2004-future-sent-to-save-rock-in-the-past sort of way.
