PabloLMay 20, 2009I expected a bunch of nice tunes like in the first album, and Maccabees came with a truly, preciously beautiful album!

MCMay 23, 2009Excellent follow-up to the debut, darker and more accomplished. Less playful than the original (it still has its moments) but overall the band seem to have matured and their music has benefited from it.

AlexFMay 27, 2009An amazing album which incorporates all the good bits the first album by The Maccabees did not have. There are no songs that let down the high quality of this album. What a comback by The Maccabees.

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.

Wall Of Arms is an expansive, confident second album that takes The Maccabees from indie also-rans to genuine contenders.

Wall of Arms is the meticulously evolved sound of a band aiming to bid to breathe life into British indie.
