Análisis (en inglés) - :
Since their first release on {@Anvil Records} way back in 1999, {$Ollie Knights} and {$Gale Paridjanian}'s {$Turin Brakes} has enjoyed a meteoric rise, making the shortlist for Best Newcomer at the annual British Music Industry awards before underlining the not inconsiderable sales of their inaugural full-length {^The Optimist} with a Mercury nomination shortly afterwards. Notably they didn't win either, but both assisted in building a groundswell of support into a veritable force majeure which resulted in this sophomore follow-up cracking open the U.K. Top Ten on the week of its release. While their aforementioned debut revelled in its low fidelity, the pair chose to draft in {$Tony Hoffer} -- accomplished producer for such notables as {$Air} and {$Beck} -- for {^Ether Song}. The resultant album builds considerable muscle to the skeletal frailty of intricate guitar work while commendably maintaining all of what was good about their debut. The opening {&"Blue Hour"} sets the tone for the rest of the album, a sprawling analogue introduction brought into focus through the fret skills of {$Paridjanian}, before {$Knights}' angelic vocal appears like an apparition from the aural fog. Obvious singles {&"Painkiller"} and {&"Long Distance"} echo the singalong sensibilities of previous hits {&"Emergency 72"} and {&"Underdog,"} but there is much, much more here -- {$Hoffer} having evidently oiled the screechy little {$Brakes} -- {&"Panic Attack"} conjuring up the paranoiac side of {$Syd Barrett} as {&"Little Brother"} rocks like {^The Optimist} never quite managed to. Despite these diversions, however, it is the softly spoken cuts which make for the highlights with {&"Full of Stars"} and the closing {&"Ether Song"} itself stunning examples of a band that still have more to offer. [A bonus-disc version of the album included mixes of {&"Blue Hour,"} {&"Self Help,"} and {&"Long Distance,"} as well as a track called {&"Bright Golden Lights"} and multimedia content.] ~ Kingsley Marshall, All Music Guide
