By rights, this album should be quantified as Superb or Classic, as there is not a weak track on the entire album. It is consistently tuneful, enjoyable and well-written. The problem is, there is no variation: every song is mellow and laid back - so much so, that I wanted to top myself by the time the final track ended. My appreciation of the album ran something akin to a parody of Jim Henson's Statler and Waldorf. No matter how much I try, I just can't bring myself to listen to the whole thing in one sitting.

Some extremely haunting tracks on this album. Lyrics are great, music could be more interesting though.

A good listen, but eventually drags and there is not one track that stands out.

The Courage of Others is a step down from Midlake's sophomore album but still a welcome change of pace. Here, we hear a darker side of the band. Gone are the uptempo songs from The Trials of Van Occupanther and in their place are slower, meloncholy selections. My main problem with the album is the lack of variety as it goes on.
