If you like the opener, Ascent, you’ll hear it ten more times before the album is done.

If you like the same bands they obviously do, you’ve heard it all before.

Plenty of kids will get their kicks from Croll’s charming arrangements and quality production, and while this album is better than much in the genre, it’s hard to get too excited about it.

It’s missing just a little bit of authenticity that might come by loosening those bowties and getting some dirt under their fingernails.

An interesting and unique collection.

They’re one of the most powerful bands around, and to experience that awesome energy in person is hard to beat.

A memorable evening in the company of a truly inspired artist.

From a dodgy start the show blossomed into a wonderful display of song, musicianship and above all the beauty of Neko Case’s singing.

A solo rendition of Hey Joseph closed out the set, as if the audience needed any more proof of Paskalev’s vocal ability.

There just isn’t anything that’s really fresh or shocking, with the legends being upstaged tonight by apprentices that are taking their formula and flipping it completely upside-down.

The atmosphere was contagious and in the middle it was heavy, but everyone looked out for each other – bravo, Sydney.
