Passage

"To Exitmusic's great credit, Church is no Pete Yorn, and there's very little that's precious or reserved about this music or the way Palladino sings. Instead, it's audacious and ambitious, twisting lyrics about depravity and loneliness into shared anthems meant for overcoming both. More than a cash-in or credibility play, Passage simply pulls several familiar objects into one detailed picture, a predictably good look from a pair whose script seems every bit as written as much as lived".

"Exitmusic are at their most powerful here when they find that spark amidst all the darkness, as they do on the album's title track and the returning From Silence standout "The Modern Age," which is as gorgeous and anthemic as ever, with an uplifting kind of sadness and mysterious but palpable sense of loss recalling the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in one of their more somber moods".
