You’ll find it difficult not to be swayed by the reverberating sunniness of this album, whilst hopefully finding time to appreciate its thematic depth

Pretty Much Amazing
Minor flaws aside, Here is a great sophomore album that casts Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes in a different light, but keeps the band’s overall sound and feeling intact

There's enough creative progress here to prove that the band isn't in a holding pattern, though they're shrewd enough to still be easily recognizable to the audience that formed around their debut

Balminess is the chief asset of this second album's slow-rolling, harmonic country-gospel jams

An album of originals, sung by the people who wrote them, but somehow resembling more than anything else a campfire sing-along of someone else’s songs
