    The perfection of this CD is unvailed the more one listens to it. Saw their live on-stage performance which cemented my rating.

    I don't think its quite as good as previous albums, but after seeing them live I can't not love it.

    Great record. Very epic. Wish it was longer. Some songs have a little cheese at the beginning they beef out into a great track. Get their first 2 records. Plus search out the Vinyl only release. great sound. These guys should tour with Bob Dylan

    It may be a remarkably summery album, but it has enough charm and depth for year-round listening.

    Second-rate Shins. [Aug 2005, p.164]

    [It has] a woozy Beulah-plays-Beach Boys vibe.
