    finally starting to find out that this is a real gem. I used to prefer "return" because of such awesome songs as "wolf like me" and "province", but I'm finding out this is by no means a weaker one

    The two albums before Dear Science, while great, have nothing on it. And the more I listen, the more I know this to be true.

    Best pop record of the 21st century for me(so far), immense songwriting and instrumentation. The lyrics hits me on deeply emotional spot everytime.
