    I'm sorry, but it is very hard for me to not compare this to his previous works. That's easier to say if an artists makes a drastic change in style. Arthur hasn't done that - he just stopped writing captivating/interesting songs.

    A dark, Velvet-y set. [22 Sep 2006, p.95]
  2. A mature effort that shines with nakedness and clarity.
  3. Without it ever deliberately going for the jugular, Nuclear Daydream is nevertheless an album that is difficult to shake out of your ears; moreover, it's one that only grows stronger with every repeated play.
