"A curious concept album from Chris Thile and co ... Of all the varieties of country, folk, blues and genre-twisting hybrids gathered under the catch-all of Americana, Punch Brothers are surely among the strangest. The five-piece owe their existence to the decision of mandolin player Chris Thile to quit the enormously successful bluegrass trio Nickel Creek in 2006 in favour of something more challenging. Not that Punch Brothers were routine traditionalists - they happily covered Radiohead and Britney Spears - but Thile's vision was of something more like country chamber music".

"Med Chris Thile som musikalsk midtpunkt, mandolinist og forsanger har de befundet sig i et musikterritorium, som undsiger sig genrebetegnelser. Sammen med Chris Eldridge/guitar, Poul Kowert/bas, Noam Pikelny/banjo og Gabe Witcher/violin tager de musikelementer fra alle genrer og sammensætter dem på den mest uforudsigelige måde. Bedst som man tror at have fundet sig til rette i de komplicerede rytme- og harmonimønstre, så skifter de pludselig. Denne tumultagtige stil er en effektiv måde, enten at skærpe lytterinteressen, eller (hvis de ikke var så virtuose) helt at miste interessen".
