4.5 stars out of 5 -- "HERETIC PRIDE succeeds because of its focus on the details....PRIDE's music is more ornate and well-wrought than LONELY."CMJ
"It's an ambitious offering to be sure, but even when Darnielle shifts gears, he still reaches his destination."Q (Magazine) - p.108
4 stars out of 5 -- "These succinct, sparse vignettes could double as short stories, Darnielle's evocative imagery giving the likes of 'San Bernardino' a cinematic feel."Blender (Magazine) - p.81
"With drums, strings, pianos, amps and backup singers, this is the biggest-sounding record ever for a band that used to consist of one guy on acoustic guitar..."Paste (magazine) (p.68) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Darnielle is a narrator as instantly recognizable as Raymond Carver or Charles Bukowski, his primary subject being doomed relationships, his primary architectural too being a strident acoustic guitar."
The Word (magazine) (p.107) - "There's plenty of wry humour and provocative metaphor for Goats fans to chew on, plus some fantastic titles..."
