Like Wilco’s Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, Quit +/or Fight flirts with perfection, a cohesive collection of all-too-fleeting pleasures.
-
Quit +/or Fight may lack the immediate melodic punch of the band's debut-- it forsakes pristine strums for skewering electric guitar and scrappier arrangements-- but what the record sacrifices in warmth, it makes up for in atmospherics.
-
Imagine a highly narcotic Shins with even more subtle instrumentation and you're getting somewhere close.
-
A work far more potent and lasting than their debut.
-
Like R.E.M.'s vaunted Murmur, these songs are most adept at creating worlds for the listener to enter and engage, which may be different with every spin.
-
Under The RadarThe songs aren't quite as immediate as their self-titled debut, but... they're making folk friendly for the electronic age. [#10, p.115]
-
MagnetNearly buries itself in interesting ideas that are ultimately unrewarding. [#69, p.98]
