"Kevin Barnes is nuts in his own looneyverse, as is the rest of of montreal. Their album satanic panic in the attic propelled them to my ears as a constant enjoyment in 2004 (and after). Such eccentricities can make for inconsistent albums, but on satanic, those eccentricities make for a rich, mag..." [+] Reply

"A great indie rock album, not quite sure whey these guys have never garnered much attention. "Fortress" especially is an absolute gem of a song." Reply

"Absolutely brilliant album, gives me chills every listen, a close second behind "The Mantle". Not quite as good but a pioneering work by the band, the album consists of some of their greatest work with ground-shattering tracks like "Limbs" or "Unlike the Waves"." Reply

"Masterpiece of soundscape, to say the least. The guitar tone is an art in and of itself. The lyrics are hauntingly deep, even though the delivery comes across somewhat silly at points.

"This album really sounds like an extension of "merriweather post pavilion", and that's the best compliment I think I can attribute to this EP. "what would I want? sky" is as good as any of the best stuff from MPP. "graze" borrows from its song structure starting atmospheric and mesmerizing until ..." [+] Reply
