Reviews"It's a sprawling 50-plus-minute-long opus filled with stadium-sized choruses, wind-tunnel guitars, deep bass rumble and several canyons' worth of echo.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Frontwoman Ritzy Bryan adds a consistent emotional intensity best heard on 'Cradle'...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The multitracked vocal attack of 'Austere' is transformed from pub brawl to arena prizefight; 'Whirring' gets expanded into a six-minute-plus epic of face-melting, Sonic Youth-ful jamming.", "The band's trademark remains a powerful wall of sound....The rebirth of indie may just have found its leading protagonists.", "Singer-guitarist Ritzy Bryan ups the airy lilt in the songs' hooks, while her lyrics document the discrepancies between emotional interiors and exteriors."
