    This is one of my all-time favorite albums, and my favorite album of mum.

    not as conventional as 'finally we are no one' however if being dis illusioned by some far away place you left behind in your childhood is bearable then its worth the buy

    The first few times i listened to summer make good i didn't think it was as good as finally we are no one, but after a few more listens i've grown to like it just as much. Mum once again creates a record of beautiful soundscapes. I don't get how so many music critics love the new sigur ros but didn't like this.

    Otherworldly, cinematic and haunting--imagine Godspeed going pop.

    Their production is still top-notch, and as mentioned above the album still has some great sounds and moments, but it's not quite up to the level that they've done in the past.

    Catching electronica in it’s embryonic state and somehow fusing it together with lush folk stylings, weathered ambience and the slightest - most beautiful - trace of vocals ‘Summer Makes Good’ is a truly breath-taking record.

    It's no departure from any of the band's previous combinations of shuffling beats, spacey blips, dramatic strings and squeaking, soughed vocals; such a delivery of old comforts is precisely what makes the album so dull.
