    Romance, their third album in 24 months, is more slickly assured -- and far less twee -- than its predecessors.
  2. Romance Is Boring doesn't eschew the sugar-high, too-clever angst of its predecessors altogether, but the band have learned how to vary their song structures, often opting for a darker, more atmospheric aesthetic.

    Romance may be boring, but this ambitious triumph is anything but. [Feb 2010, p.96]
