"Definitely the best Gaslight album, their songwriting is much better here than on the rest. The Patient Ferris Wheel is one of my all time favorite songs." Reply

"I deeply regret my first impressions and listens of Consolers of the Lonely, I wasn't ready (not old enough), not yet learned in the great history that is rock'n'roll. The soul and passion of these guys is hard to understand, a brick wall of unpenatrable energy surrounds them here. Behind the bri..." [+] Reply

"Perfect autumnal music. She mixes drone, echoes, and guitar to make something that really sounds like no other album. Can this be characterized as ghostly folk? Each song is recognizable so no need to worry if you're going to get a monotonous album here." Reply

"If this band's lyrics where in english, they'd be huge (maybe)" Reply
"The arrangements are well thought out, particularly the duel guitars, and the production is a great example of analogue done right, warm while still retaining clarity and separation.

"Sorry to those who love the Killers, but to me, they're repeating the same formula over and over again. I don't see how this sounds any different than Hot Fuss or Sam's Town...
