"Good album, considered the comeback album by Oasis and it does it well. There some great tunes like Lyla and Let There Be Love that are anthemic and memorable much like past Oasis hits. The Importance of Being Idle is probably one of the best tracks Noel has ever written." Reply

"This is the perfect album from start to finish and the connection of the first and last song is very clever and brilliant musically.

"It's a poor man's Oracular Spectacular, which isn't as much of an insult as it sounds but the parallels are out there. Sleepyhead and The Reeling are catchy little pop tunes that will probably remind you of MGMT's Time to Pretend and Kids. Hopefully they'll get to stretch their legs a little more..." [+] Reply

"An album that is let down by the second half because the first half is amazing. It is so full of colour and life on those first 3 tracks that you start to think that your in for a classic from Explosions In The Sky. The way they build up the music is brilliant and they allow themselves to explode..." [+] Reply

"Though not their strongest effort, I'll like most anything that Built to Spill does. It's a solid effort that shows that they have an admirably consistent discography, maybe to a fault at times. Still, this remains a fine album." Reply
