"Assured and welcome comeback album from this great band. Imaginative and diverse soundscapes as always. Like a dear friend that went overseas for 15 years and then arrives on your doorstep and you converse like they we're only gone a fortnight."  Reply

"Possibly Sloan's heaviest album. While I love Patrick's power pop, and here he has his signature song, "Money City Maniacs", this was the album where Andrew Scott truly shines. "Sinking Ships", "Seems So Heavy", and "On The Horizon" are the three best tracks, all penned by Scott."  Reply

"90s nostaglic album made with sincerity, taste, and competence. lead track Anti-glory is one of the best songs of this year, and the rest of the albums follows it up with pretty good DIY indie energy. Closing track Billy with Steve Shelley and Lee Renaldo is a great work that sounds right out of ..."  [+]  Reply

"Most of these songs are from Hounds of Love and Aerial so it has many great tracks. Also the production and audio is absolutely flawless. Really digging this. I have to start listening to Kate Bush more."  Reply

"I clearly recall my sister got this album ( vinyl of course) for Christmas 1980. I’d never heard of Flowers and the how who and why she got this album under tree really is one of life’s mysteries considering we grew up in regional Australia in a time there was no internet and the local radio was ..."  [+]  Reply

"I was pleasantly surprised by Waxahatchee's last album after not caring at all for Cerulean Salt. So, I didn't know what to expect. That in mind, this has to be her best record yet. Nary a subpar track on the record. Give it a listen, for sure."  Reply

"Bone shaking, earth shattering rock, but a little too repetitious. White and Mosshart both can write better material then this. The weakness of the songs ultimately resign this album to a B. Should be ranked higher than it is, though. Half the boring albums on 2010s chart are nowhere near as memo..."  [+]  Reply
