    Everybody is ultimately a misguided abandonment of what made the band's earlier work so essential. [#17, p.87]

    Everybody ultimately suffers from a dearth of catchy melodies. [Jun 2007, p.112]

    It's the Sea and Cake's standard acoustic flavored post-rock , that's it. Same genre, new material. It;s definitely an It's the Sea and Cake's standard acoustic flavored post-rock , that's it.
