    Sometimes the songs plod, sometimes the lyrics are... overly ridiculous. But this album knows what it is, knows what it wants to do, and does it well. "Sing to Me" and "Anna" are stellar tracks; they prove Will Butler can and has come into his own as an artist. Definitely recommend giving it a listen or two. Butler is one to watch.

    Short, sweet, and to the point. Will proved that he simply isn't a tag along for a great band, Arcade Fire. He proved through out the album that musically and vocally he is talented. It's a short album (only 8 songs with a little over 30 minute run time) but surprisingly very good.

    Policy is a dazzling execution of one man's crazed vision. [May 2015, p.91]

    Policy is actually all over the musical map.

    Unsurprisingly, Policy is a much smaller affair than his primary band's titanic statements on death, God, and 21st century malaise.
