Reviews4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Frontman Tunde Adebimpe sings in a full-throated bellow -- often in harmony with guitarist Kyp Malone's spooky falsetto -- that is among the most soulful and arresting voices in rock.", "With misting, compact melodies that could be hits while doubling as the soundtrack for their world domination.", "Their high-strung space rock has eased into something more exuberant. The mood is one of eager tenderness, even sexiness...", Ranked #01 in Spin's "The 40 Best Albums of 2006" -- "They turn the dystopian wallow of Radiohead's KID A on its ear, finding a shocked freedom in alienation.", You won't hear airier, more evocative singing on a record this year, from the Beach Boys-like dissonant harmonies on 'A Method' to the eerie counterpoint vocals of 'Hours'." -- Grade: A-, Ranked #4 in Rolling Stone's "The Top 50 Albums Of 2006" -- "The deliberate enigma of TV on the Radio's art rock has given way to a spacey magic...", Ranked #2 in Entertainment Weekly's "Top 10 Records Of 2006" -- "TV on the Radio show us that harmony and noise can blissfully exist in the same space.", "The ultimate majesty of RETURN TO COOKIE MOUNTAIN is that it reveals something new with each listen. Yes, the journey is often challenging, but that's what makes it unforgettable., 4 stars out of 5 -- "It's an album full of playful daring, where Tunde Adebimpe and Kyp Malone weave vocal harmonies together over David Sitek's narcotic musical backdrop.", "Bold, Ambitious, Experimental -- It's the Sound of a Band Realising Their Potential Brilliantly.", Ranked #39 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006" -- "Their finest set of songs, with 'Hours' and 'Let The Devil In' combining their oddball sensitivity with smart, memorable hooks."
