"Anyone who has followed the Kadane brothers over the past almost 20 years first as Bedhead, now as the New Year pretty much knows what to expect from a new album released under their guidance. You're guaranteed chord progressions that start off quietly and build and build until the speakers are overflowing with chiming guitars and your heart swells at the restrained majesty of it all."

"The latter half of the record could have used more of these moments, as ballads "Body and Soul" and "My Neighborhood" drag on with minimal percussion. While the band is easing its vice-like restraint and begin to loosen up and rock out a little more earnestly (not unlike their former band Bedhead did on their third record, Transaction de Novo), what continues to set them apart is the way they put these pieces together, and how they use their average, everyman voices to demonstrate how complicated average struggles are. Up until now, they sang of desolation and addiction, but The New Year shows that hope can be just as hard-- maybe harder."
