"Its fitful opener, 'Spitting Off the Edge of the World,' sets the tone: Its blown-out guitars and staggering drums evoke the image of someone emerging from a smoldering pile of rubble."
4 stars out of 5 -- "The results are eight tender tracks that see the band stretching their creative limits and scaling down their propensity for bombast."
