Reviews"Carefully embellished, stripped bare when applicable, full of the joy of sounds colliding with other sounds....Only four guys so completely serious about music-making could come together to make an album this labor-intensive sound so airy, so natural.", "The main clincher of this album is that it scoops you up and sweeps right through you....Gentle harmonies conjure swirls of pinks and tangerines, the vocals of band members are sinewy and lithe...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This album has a sound that is completely its own: an opulent, intimate rumble built on churning acoustic riffs, haunted croons and precise string parts.", "Even with the generally lo-fi nature of Grizzly Bear's repertoire, the band manages to throw in a couple of rocking guitar riffs in tracks like 'Fine for Now' and 'While You Wait for the Others.'", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Ambitious, elegant....It's unquestionably a lovely record and it deserves to be heard on land, sea, indoors and out.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Sporting production arrangements that sound simultaneously stripped and complex, this is the Bear's best album to date.", Ranked #4 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2009" -- "Grizzly Bear's third full-length is a coldly beautiful gem.", "Steeped in Wilco's bittersweet Americana, and adding a Northeastern Gothic twinge, Grizzly Bear sound like they're trying to break your heart.", "The swirling gypsy dazzle of 'Southern Point' and 'Two Weeks,' with its lush Beach Boy melodies and jaunty piano jangle, are genuinely intoxicating." -- Grade: B+, 4 stars out of 5 -- "These former music students have constructed an album full of intricate songs that subtly changes with each listen....It's a beautiful piece of work."
