"Oh man the tender, wistful, wondrous beauty of this album is extraordinary. It's done so perfectly that the fact that it's a bit one-note doesn't bother me. All of Obel's albums are soft pools of angelic loveliness, and this may be the best album she's made yet. Check it out, people."  Reply

"There's not a bad song here; in fact there's not even a mediocre song here. But of course I'm biased since this is my favorite band. Anyhow, this isn't *quite* as good as their first album or their third album (Bloodletting), but still right up there. Criminally overlooked and ahead of their time."  Reply

"This is an album that I actually found more impressive the first time I heard it than on subsequent listens, but it's still really enjoyable. Got a few brilliant standout tracks, but also a fair amount of filler."  Reply
