"This album is bookended by two incredible songs: the band words overtime to deliver a bold instrumental opening in the first song, and Haslam's vocals in the last song are divine. Sandwiched between the two are some decent folk/symphonic tunes, including the shoulda-been-a-hit Carpet of the Sun."  Reply

"Doesn't live up to their first 2 albums, but still a solid album which is one of the best of 2010. Unlike their other albums which have multiple stand out tracks, Blue Beard is the only song which I would put in that category for Infinite Arms. Despite not having any bad tracks, my expectations f..."  [+]  Reply

"Out coming from the typical sounds, this album takes to be the most electronic that Reznor ever made, he gives him time to create 16 different sounds (not the best creativity comparing each one) that every song dives to amaze people while listening, and he still singing sad, negative, creepy lyri..."  [+]  Reply

"Some weak lyrics here and there and some slightly generic metal riffs, but the instrumentation and vocal delivery are gorgeous. Not a masterpiece, but a good enough symphonic metal album. Mother Earth and Never-ending story are the highlights for me."  Reply

"This is one of those albums that I listened to once and thought was average and mostly unremarkable. But in the following weeks I found myself returning to it more and more. It's now probably my favorite album of 2018 and one of my favorites of the decade. There are so many unassuming hooks that ..."  [+]  Reply

"This album is good from start to finish and is a favorite. It is so poppy and as many note, Beatlesque. It is probably their most accessible / college rock / alternative offering."  Reply

"I'm in the middle of thinking that this is a work of genius and that it's self-indulgent. Aesop Rock is definitely one of the greatest artists in hip-hop, but this is way too long "Daylight" is a classic though, fantastic song."  Reply
