Reviews
"A Tragic Record of Turmoil Set to Towering Pop Blasts; an Emotive Hurricane Is Upon US.", "They mix soaring string sections, but add a punch of jangly guitars....Lead singer Mikel Jollett's rumbling baritone colors these buoyant melodies with a tinge of sorrow...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "On 'Innocence,' a gorgeous viola intro gives way to ecstatic new-wave-ish keyboards, and the rousing 'Sometime Around Midnight' makes late-night pining sound positively heroic.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With opener 'Wishing Well,' the lustful 'Gasoline' and 'Something New''s confused relationship tracing a historical line from The Strokes to The Killers...", "The album is enthralled with guitar noise....It's also sewn through with an endearing passion that screams of potential."
