“A little bit poppy, a little bit electronic, a little bit dreamy. Altogether amazing.” - New York Post, December 2006
“Centuries Before Love and War is an early entry…for indie album of the year.” - The Oregonian, January 2007
“Good enough to scare the Postal Service gang back into the studio.” - The Boston Globe, January 2007
“With this amazing debut, the Stars will undoubtedly put themselves further ahead of the pack, because, well, when it gets down to it, regardless of similarities, they’re infinitely more exciting than anything the Northwest mainstreamers have been offering in recent years.” - Chord, June/July 2006
“Stars of Track and Field are masterminds of atmospherics…The group’s lushly crafted alt-rock aims high-for the arena rafters, even-but in a way that is smart and indie-minded.” - The Denver Post, January 2007
“Referencing Echo and the Bunnymen, Depeche Mode and Radiohead, this young Portland band has emerged with an album of sonic nuance, but also one of great social seriousness and responsibility.” - Amplifier, June 2006
“Sheer enthusiasm and tightly knit hooks” - Spin.com, November 2006
“Standout “Movies of Antartica” is a desolate stadium anthem that echoes Radiohead and Coldplay.” - Billboard, January 2007
“Impressive debut reveals some expansive rock songs that deserve to be heard on the big stage.” - VH1.com, January 2007
“It’s the kind of album that encourages listeners to delve back time and time again to further appreciate the beauty and intricacy of its sound.” - AllMusic.com, June 2006
“An inventive hybrid of evocative and blissful tunes with phases of puzzling despair that is simply a light and lovely collection.” - Illinois Entertainer, October 2006
“Intelligent and thought provoking modern progressive pop that features great vocal melodies and really cool guitars.” - BabySue.com, October 2006
“Devotees of Coldplay, Radiohead, U2 and Pink Floyd find favor with Stars of Track and Field.” - The Philadelphia Inquirer, January 2007
“Sprawling, electronic-tinged pop songs.” - The Washington Post, January 2007
“Like TV on the Radio, the guys in Stars work with seemingly disparate elements: Soft vocals mix with epic rock, samples clash with live sounds and unusual patterns develop within each track.” - Orlando City Beat, January 2007
