3.0 good | dreamobile | November 8th 10 | Grandiose, anthemic stadium rock. It would be hard to deny its ability to rouse a crowd of fans. The band often goes all out - guitars blaring and drums crashing while the lead singer... whispers. The glaring contrast between the band's impassioned efforts and the front man's restrained, almost bored performance is as compelling as it is frustrating. Fans of Arcade Fire, Coldplay, and U2 will probably eat this up, but others will find it only fairly decent.

4.5 superb | Tokyochuchu | November 26th 09 | BSP's third album is a close runner-up to the supurb 'Open Season'. It has a lot of night-time atmosphere, best typified in 'Lights Out For Darker Skys' and the gliding instrumental 'The Great Skua'. But at certain times it can get a wee bit boring. It also doesn't have many individual classics on it, save for the monumental 'Waving Flags', which is probably the best BSP song ever.

5.0 classic | Koehnsen | August 31st 08 | Huge leap forward for a band looking for a definitive statement. "Lights Out For Darker Skies," "Canvey Island," "Waving Flags," and "No Lucifer" pack a huge punch, but the rest of the album is top quality as well. One of the best records of the last couple of years in my opinion.
