"My vote for album of the decade. An absorbing masterpiece of modern pop music, comfortably slipping from one style to the next and sounds completely original throughout."
"A friend of mine is obsessed with Death Cab and gave me nearly all their albums. Oddly this is the only one I've heard start to finish, but it's frigging great."
"Though MFTM sounded arena sized, 'Violator' was quieter but it actually DID fill those stadiums and it wasn't a fluke. A tremendous moody pop record."
"You'd think an album who's cover was originally made of sandpaper would be some deviation of punk; instead this is subtle, ghostly guitar soundscapes. Plus it's not pretentious at all. No seriously."
