"One of the sensations of 2011, this LA-based band tick all the right boxes. Steeped in the psyche-garage tradition of the 60s, the band effortlessly merge a multitude of reference points from the past without their music ever sounding staid or derivative. Ditties reminiscent of Syd Barrett-era Pi..." [+] Reply
"Cunninlynguists makes great records with great concepts. This is no exception. Though not their best work it still has the ability to take you on a trip. Notable songs: Hard as They Come, Stars Shine the Brightest On the Darkest of Nights, Looking Back." Reply

"The songwriting is solid, and the vocal harmonizing is lovely, but this album kindof sounds like a couple of songwriters who don't know anything about country trying to do country. The country and folk stylings just feel a little fake, which makes the whole album a little less enjoyable than it c..." [+] Reply

"I was rather curious about the lead vocals of Benoît David. His last efford with Mystery was great. To be honest, I enjoyed his vocals better on 'One Among the Living'.
