    Despite some tedious melodramatics, Fall Back Open is a decent sophomore effort.

    Overhead's moaning gets tiresome, but their guitar-driven numbers evince both impressive shoegazing atmospherics and a prclivity for nicely fey songwriting. [27 May 2004, p.82]

    The ponderous lyrics sound cribbed straight from A Mighty Wind, and LeMaster's nasal whine is hard to take. [Apr 2004, p.134]

    Not as good as the EP but still a dreamy atmospheric brilliant album.
