    This album is different to the first but still uniquely The Jezabels. Great Aussie band and there's no one else like them. Brilliant album don't listen to the 'critics'

    I don't know if this is a good album but The Jezabels do something few artists do nowadays; They bring it.While they may incorporate a smattering of the musical 'fashions' of the time they are unafraid to have their own distinct sound. Great bands are not followers and while I'm not sure if I would consider them great at this time, they are progressing to that point.They are extremelyI don't know if this is a good album but The Jezabels do something few artists do nowadays; They bring it.While they may incorporate a smattering of the musical 'fashions' of the time they are unafraid to have their own distinct sound.

    This is wishy-washy music for moody goth-lite teens. [Apr 2014, p.112]

    The Jezabels are a talented collective, but I find their latest set half as compelling as it could have been. The Brink remains grounded when it should soar.

    The electro-pop melodies are as stellar as they were on Prisoner, but the backdrops are more graceful and subdued, more elegant, and less exuberant. [Feb/Mar 2014, p.72]
