"One current artist I'm astounded has yet to follow up this masterful work of retro=pop material. Bulletproof was an absolute smash and Ellie has remained quiet long after. Looking forward to the follow up more than any other really since it's been so long" Reply
"Not only is this enjoyable pop, but the lyrics are either very witty, or very powerful. 22 is cruelly depressing, Chinese was the sweetest song I've heard in a while, Back To The Start was disturbingly relatable, and Him gave me chills. Very strong piece of work here." Reply

"There are so many songs by Silversun Pickups that I love, but I often find that I end up skipping tracks on most of their albums. That's not the case with this one.

"Great album, AIC returned in fine form, even without Layne. I hope they put out many more albums if this is the kind of thing we can expect." Reply

"A bit of a departure from their first two albums, The Back Room and An End Has A Start, to a more electronic sound. And it didn't really work for me. Although I do like Bricks And Mortar - great song." Reply
"Porcupine Tree weakest album in recent times. The biggest issue I have with the album is not necessarily the songs but the way they have been put together. It starts off well but into tracks 3 and 4 - it sounds like Steven Wilson is singing live to an audience a medley of his past hits that he do..." [+] Reply
"Nothing great, nothing bad. Best tracks: Wrong, Peace, Fragile Tension, Miles Away." Reply
