"Night Palace has been celebrated online as the Mount Eerie album that sounds the most like Phil Elverum's work in the Microphones.

"I can fully understand why people may not like this record, especially if you are only familiar with Teens and Twin Fantasy. But dig deeper and go further back and you will discover that this is the kind of sound that Will has been adding to his much earlier records in small doses, but now with a..." [+] Reply

"Such a cool band. This album doesn't disappoint. First track is one of those slow building songs which plays as a nice ramp up to their killer single Processed by the Boys. This release is just as cool as their older stuff but with a continuous spooky wind instrument type thing going on throughou..." [+] Reply

"‘O Monolith’ doesn’t quite reach the lofty peaks of ‘Bright Green Field’ in my humble opinion, but still proves itself as a worthy sophomore album nonetheless." Reply

"Manchester Orchestra from Atlanta Georgia release another excellent conceptual album coming on the heals of the previous ‘Black Mile to the Surface’ which explored Welsh Mining and Miners, this time around its death, dying and life Simply gorgeous release" Reply

"I don't know how they can put out so much quality but they do and this is no exception. Slap after slap with no filler. The sounds of a band with a complete mastery of their output and an ability to do pretty much whatever they want." Reply

"Really good album. I never fell in love with Reunions (the last one). I have a feeling Weathervanes will be on repeat for me. After one listen I feel like I like it as least as much as Nashville Sound. Great songwriting. "From the gut" lyrics. Music is Isebellian - nothing that radically new soun..." [+] Reply

"Just as good if not better than 2012-2017. Fantasy, Penny, and With an Addict are the standouts but there isn't a single bad track on here." Reply

"Production is reminiscent of Daniel Lanois classics without the excesses (check out the guitar tones on "Alibi"). Great Americana soundscape with vulnerable, emotive lyrics, good story telling, and one of my favorite voices in music. There are some tragic themes here, but there is redemption. Hur..." [+] Reply
