flubbyBearJul 30, 2009Can't believe this has scored as low as it has! The critics have got it wrong and users have got it right for sure... A great album, one of my fav's for 2009 (even if it is a reissue from 2008).

JamesA.Jul 9, 2009Truly an amazing album. I loved it from the first time i listened to it and after a couple months of play it still hasn't become dull. I plan on seeing them in Cleveland next month.

JeremyM.Jul 10, 2009Amazing debut. I've been listening to this non-stop since discovering it last year, and I haven't grown tired of one second of one song. Seriously, you owe it to yourself to listen to this.

DoronDJul 17, 2009Amazing album. This will be one of those that are loved by fans dearly, and only liked-maybe-disliked by critics. Everyone should get this.

HenryC.Jul 13, 2009One of those rare albums that is great to listen to from begining to end. There are many stand out tracks. I just saw them live in Calgary a few weeks back. Great show. Check them out live if you ever get the chance.

Nov 12, 2011Never have I heard an album that grew on me as quickly as Hometowns. The RAA is easily one of my favorite musical groups and that is very much because of this album. The album starts off with a mellow, extraordinary track and from there takes you on a ride of fun and excellent indie rock.
-
UncutThe RAA's narratives are as expansive as the prarie where singer-songwriter and guitarist Nils Edenloff grew up, but they're also full of resonnant, intimate detail. [Aug 2010, p.94]

Taking Mangum’s recorded-on-cardboard lo-fi folk epics as their ground zero, TRAA turn in the best alt.debut of the year.
-
All too often, that energy is lost when a talented young band like this enters the studio, and RAA do their best to transcend the limitations of their home recorded calling card, but that energy eating reaper follows Hometowns around like a cop car on a Saturday night.
