    Not as well done as "Built on Squares" but it has its moments

    Drowaton pulses with ideas and energy, and there doesn't seem to be a musical style beyond the Mints' grasp.

    At least two or three songs on the record are worthy of the New Pornographers for crunchy catchiness and the entire set is packaged with energy and hooks.

    Never cluttered, Drowaton is as compelling as it is complex. [Filter Mini #10, p.13]
