    Mirrored
    At times, the effect is akin to hearing Tortoise and Animal Collective covering the Steve Reich and Devo catalogs in tandem; but such reference points barely do justice to an album that just halfway through 2007, is already topping the year's best-of list in multiple genres. [Jun 2007, p.151]

    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Voxtrot
    Voxtrot's biggest fault is that at times its understated strings, burbling keyboards and retro-fitted guitars sound almost too pretty and distant. [Jul 2007, p.170]

    • Alternative Press
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Baby 81
    The bulk of Baby 81 draws from the dark underbelly of the Woodstock generation. [Jun 2007, p.156]

    Twelve
    While Twelve's not an unlistenable record by any stretch of the imagination, it just begs the question: What's the point? [Jun 2007, p.158]
    • Alternative Press
    • 47 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Pullhair Rubeye

    • 70 Critic Score
    Fear of a Blank Planet
    These six songs offer moments as heavy as P-Tree have ever been, but are wistfully, sprawlingly melodic as well-sometimes in the same tune.
