Description
"Forget the pack-it-in-tight methodology of Animal Collective, Akron/Family give everything its proper sense of space and atmosphere. … Here many ideas are not only considered but fully attempted -- often in the same track. Take for instance "Everyone Is Guilty," the cut that opens the set. There are no less than six tempo changes, though it opens with a slippery funky backbeat, Afro-beat percussion, and a slinky yet propulsive bassline before entering a hooky, Beatlesque rock chorus, layering in strings, taut snare, and kick drum, and then chanting above hard rock riffs, a pop bridge, and prog rock exercises in arpeggiatic crescendo. It may sound like a mess, but it's tight as a fist hammering on musical genres and cracking them open wide. … The effect is gorgeous, and if you can simply let this rather stunning set of surprises wash over you, you will be delighted."-AllMusic.com
