4 out of 5 - "...An ezquisite lethargy prevails....Pianos and violins providing tasteful accents..."

Ranked #19 in Wire's "50 Records of the Year 2001".

Ranked #18 in Mojo's "Best [40] Albums of 2001".
"...Quintessential Low: stately, sepulchral, notes perfectly judges and elegantly sustained, stalked by metronomic sadness....these are the best songs of [their] quiet career."
Ranked #24 in NME's 50 "Albums Of the Year 2001".
9 out of 10 - "...There is life here, wide-eyed and immeasurable. [It's] music that can both swell the heart like a gospel tune and capture the amplified absence of a funeral parlor. It's difficult to imagine a more perfect expression of their vision than this."
