Chart wrote, in a positive review of the album, "We all know Said The Whale have what it takes to make a raucous pop album, but they've instead opted for substance over flare. That chosen direction has them drifting toward New Pornographers territory—crafting songs that start simply, change direction, then gradually mutate into singalong choruses."[4]

gollark: Yes, I'm aware, although it may not technically be considered UTF-32.
gollark: It... sounds... slow.
gollark: But... Unicode?
gollark: > I don't know how to write low-level Haskell and quite frankly I don't think I want to knowJust give people the option of using `Text` (UTF-16 ææææ), `String` (not even a UTF æææææææææ), or `[Word8]` (what could possibly go wrong).
gollark: So, I don't know exactly how Pascal works, mostly just that it has length-prefixed strings? But I think that having the length prefixes be different... lengths... introduces problems compared to just, say, a usize stored with the pointer.
