    The Emotional Rescue LP asserts the fact that the band not only has exceptional songwriting talent, but has finally concocted a potent mixture of poppy melodies to complement their core of tranquil notes and minimalist orchestrations.
  3. The Wire
    70
    The emphasis now is on the delicate interplay between acousitc guitars, and vocals which sound somewhere between Jonathan Donahue and Syd Barrett. [#221, p.66]

  5. Austin Chronicle

    The lyrical prowess is here, but the detached, half-spoken vocals make the album sound like the emotional investment isn't.
  6. AllMusic
    80
    A release that seems to present a band on the verge of an artistic breakthrough.

    this album is pretty haunting....but the standout piece is "awkwardness". that song alone is worth the price of admission.
