4.0 out of 5 stars A life raft in a sea of bad rock and roll., July 7, 2009
By Jared Gaines (Richmond, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Penance Soiree is an amazing evolutionary step from the bands previous release:Mono. They really keep it loose and interesting, even ambient at times. The bass lines are fantastic, and the guitar riffs hardly fit to format adding a whole interesting sound behind the care free, but melodic, vocals. Definitely high replay value and definitely for fans of The Stooges.

5.0 out of 5 stars early album of the year candidate, May 8, 2004
By doug (Rocky River, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
I'm shocked. I ignored this band's first record 2 years ago after hearing how average they were from friends and critics, but this record is something special. Icaruse Line have managed to make an abrasive and accessable masterpiece of modern rock music that never fails to disappoint. Mark my words, there will be few records to top this one in the coming months. I can't wait to see these guys live.
