    The group's fourth outing supports singer Joel Pott's super-earnest reflections with melodies and arrangements direct and sturdy enough to bear the emotional weight. [Feb 2009, p.92]
  2. Wisely though, they've seen this as a time to consolidate, not experiment or wander off on the tangents which have undermined them in the past.
  3. The band's experimental side (the side that made them good) has suffered, as if "Wires" was the new blueprint on how to write successful songs.
