  1. It didn’t surface for long!

  2. Aaron Nagler

    The first two singles off this album sound like B-sides. Production is fine, but the sound coupled with melodies and lyrics just sound like they’ve emerged from a PSB song factory. Slightly disappointing…

  3. Jack the Lad

    So is the rest of the album, sorry to say. Shame because they had a pretty good run there after Release.

  4. Very Behavior-ish, i like it.

  5. They need to title their next album “Yawn”.

  6. “Elysium” isn’t an album of stompers; it’s a mellow, vast, grown-up affair. And it’s rather brilliant.

  7. Beautiful. I love it.

  8. I fuckin Love the new album, Great for late night drives
