"They perfected everything they did well on "dear catastrophe waitress". Every song seems riddled with a broad smile and a wide ray of sunshine. "act of the apostle" is an elegant introductory number singing "Oh, if I could make sense of it all! / I wish that I could sing / I'd stay in a melody / ..."  [+]  Reply

"The 2010’s have been a particularly rough decade for Indie Rock and Rock in general. It’s been easy to become weary of UK/US artistes with nothing interesting to say no matter how many ideas are thrown at the wall. Cometh the hour, cometh the man and the most engaging and idiosyncratic frontman i..."  [+]  Reply

"(Cool alt/indie rock album. Ellie on the vocals is the star, but the band is solid throughout.) I say this a lot but it’s particularly true here: I don’t have much to say about this. It’s a very solid and at times gorgeous indie rock album. It bounces so often from one sound to another, I can’t p..."  [+]  Reply

"An astonishing performance by Yes on a record that is very under appreciated. The instrumentals on this album are amazing and stun me every time I hear them. The guitar work is just outstanding and this is exemplified by the 15 minute epic Awaken which is the best track on this album. This song e..."  [+]  Reply

"First three songs and 47 are really, really impressive but after that the album just falls falls on it's back with hopeless repetitions of the same lyrics and instrumentation. I can sense the immense potential these guys had on this record but I was still super disappointed that it didn't pay off..."  [+]  Reply
