  1. Really, what you’re left with is an accomplished album, delivered with passion and feeling, that’s easy to acknowledge as pretty good--to admire, even--but hard to be seriously moved by.
  2. Wall Of Arms is an expansive, confident second album that takes The Maccabees from indie also-rans to genuine contenders.
  3. Wall of Arms is the meticulously evolved sound of a band aiming to bid to breathe life into British indie.
