 atmospheric and beautiful ! August 14, 2010
S. C. Clarke (UK)
I have to agree with all the 5 star reviewers. so I'll keep it short
This record is perfect all the songs are beautiful, and it has a lovely atmosphere. it sounds good at any time of the day. \it has a lovely organic feel to it!
to be fair I had never heard of this group before so I do not know their other recordings, But this struck a chord with me !
If you like atmospheric music .. this is for you!
Strong contender for album of the year. August 4, 2010

Recorded over a 16-month period this album is inspired by and dedicated to different locales across America:
Muscle Shoals, Blue Ridge Mountains, Hollywood Hills and the Mojave desert, Northern Minnesota and the Carolinas, brining it a rich variety of gospely Americana. There's bombastic strings, shimmering guitars, beautiful piano/keys, perfect pop hooks, timeless melodies and wistful vocals about redemption and eternal youth. The production provides a much bigger, more spacious sound than the last LP which complements the elemental sense of wonder about their chosen locations. My Morning Jacket with added Beach Boys. Factory cascades over one like a giant waterfall; life affirming & refreshing. Compliments stomps along like a grungey railroad song. Laredo is a huge slab of uplifting power pop. By contrast the title track Infinite Arms is a gentle ballad about a dream. Different again is Older, a slow-mid tempo country sing along, which should be there national anthem. Strong contender for album of the year.
Not quite in love this time July 28, 2010

After discovering Band of Horses at the point of the last album I fell in love with their sound. I heard 'Is Their a Ghost' first and it knocked me out. It's not a genre of music that I'd usually buy into but i had to buy 'Cease to Begin'. Ode to the LRC, Detlef Schrempf, Islands on the Coast and No-Ones Gonna Love You meant the album has been played constantly since. 'Factory' is great and sounds like it belongs with the output I've just mentioned but this album overall sounds a bit 'ploddy' in comparisson to me. The ploddy songs on the last album had more melody and I feel the album has lost some of it's purpose as a result. It's not a bad album at all and I like several of the tracks. It's just I'm more likely to 'shuffle' it with the first two albums on my i-pod, rather than listening to it in it's entirety. My expectations of this band are set very high.
I can see... July 14, 2010

America has a way of producing good harmonic bands. Band of Horses are very different, with a style that blends the Kings of Leon, Eagles and Beach Boys, but does not cloy. Their rock tracks are solid, the acoustic guitar tracks excellent, with just a touch of over-production on the vocals making them a little samey.
They seem to be "The next Big Thing" in America and should go on for a good length of time.
Recommended.
 Not bad but still not quite there June 19, 2010
A. Collyer (UK)
I downloaded this cd on the basis of hearing a few tracks via friends and family and various reviews. So whilst not a Band of Horses expert, I found the album a bit like a stale cheese roll quite tasty in places and hard to get through in others. The vocals and the music on the first two tracks seemed at odds to each other, vocals doing an accoustic thing and the music production ready for stadium rock. As the album progresses the confusion subsides and there are some really beautiful tracks "Evening Kitchen" being a favourite.
I am not quite sure they have found thier definitive voice yet but certainley have the talent too.
