Entertainment WeeklyA dark, Velvet-y set. [22 Sep 2006, p.95]
-
Paste MagazineThe album becomes more intoxicatingly hermetic with each successive song, taking you as deep as you dare to go. [Nov 2006, p.79]
-
A mature effort that shines with nakedness and clarity.
-
Without it ever deliberately going for the jugular, Nuclear Daydream is nevertheless an album that is difficult to shake out of your ears; moreover, it's one that only grows stronger with every repeated play.
-
Alternative PressIt's the little touches that make Daydream so appealing. [Nov 2006, p.190]
-
It is a tutorial in finely textured songwriting.
-
MagnetArthur is still writing seamlessly melodic, slightly psychedelic tunes, often thickened with atmospheric reverb or distant electronics. [#73, p.84]
-
Nuclear Daydream sounds placeless, as if striving for universality. At times the music sounds like it could actually achieve that lofty goal; at times it just sounds blanched, drifting into a kind of anonymity.
