"This is Battles first album since losing their vocalist, and their sound has changed a bit. I would say that their last album, “Mirrored" was strange. Good, but quite strange.

"This album is so bright and piercing, yet ferociously catchy." Reply
"Absolutely fantastic record, instant album of the year for me, very few times have I made such a powerful and meaningful conection with a body of music this immediatly.

"Contains two strong singles in What Time Is Love? and 3 A.M. Eternal, as well as one annoying single in Justified and Ancient. The remaining six songs are pointless filler." Reply

"This self-titled album, Indigo Girls' second full-length, is one of the most iconic of my college years, and the album that my high school sweetheart loved more than any other. In terms of production, it's a big step forward from their self-produced debut Strange Fire, and it includes some well-c..." [+] Reply
