iTunes Review

It wasn’t Mikel Jollett’s job as a music critic that inspired him to start making his own music so much as it was a grip of adversity; in one week his girlfriend dumped him, his mom found out she had cancer and he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that caused him spot baldness and skin depigmentation. The Airborne Toxic Event was born as Jollett’s cathartic vehicle. The quintet’s self-titled debut rocks with catchy song hooks and a commercial alternative radio familiarity that’s sure to hit home with fans of Joy Division, Interpol, The Strokes and Arcade fire – though opening cut “Wishing Well” has Jollett’s impassioned inflections sounding uncannily similar to Conor Oberst, replete with a quivering timbre and impressive literary lyrics. And it sounds again like there's a different singer on “Papillon” where Jollett downshifts from tenor to baritone with shaky Ian Curtis modulations. “Sometime Around Midnight” is a standout with lush strings leading into electric guitars and Jollett settling into his own unaffected voice.

I like this band a lot. when ever i go into my local starbucks, for some reson, Sometime around midnight is always playing. I can't escape it! good thing t's an awesome song though! but i have to say, my favorite song of their's is not on this album. it's on the NCIS soundtrack, "I Don't Want To Be On TV". you should check it out! awesome band!

The second I heard sometime around midnight I was stunned into silence, I literally listened to it 25-30 times over till late at night...The power of it is something you just do not hear these days. When I went on to buy the album it just stunned me even more, I usually listen to rock and mostly heavier stuff but this just slapped me in the face. If you don't take a chance at this band you'll regret it, Good music rears it's head again.
