JamesAMar 21, 2005Easily outstrips The Remote Part as Idlewild's worst attempt at music. This is proof that music can break your heart, but for all the wrong reasons.

duncantJun 9, 2005this is a poor reflection of what the band is capable of producing. i looked forward to this album for so long and it is such a frustration to find out warnings and promises is, it hurts to say, not very good im afraid.

‘Warnings / Promises’ is the work of a band pushing itself to the limits of its generous, but ultimately not boundless musical ability.
