Frontman Peter Silberman has been reluctant to divulge explicit details regarding the meaning of the record, and the extent to which it is autobiographical. Silberman has described it as the story of an emotionally abusive relationship. ==Reception== 〕 |rev2 = BBC Music |rev2score = (positive) |rev3 = Lost At Sea |rev3score = |rev4 = New York Press |rev4score = |rev5 = One Thirty BPM |rev5score = (88%) |rev6 = Pitchfork Media |rev6score = 8.5/10 |rev7 = PopMatters |rev7score = |rev8 = Sputnikmusic |rev8score = |rev9 = Tiny Mix Tapes |rev9score = |rev10 = Drowned In Sound |rev10score = }} The album was released to critical acclaim.
