Drowned In SoundI mentioned it in my review for their self-titled EP, and it bears repeating here again: Wolf Parade aren't doing anything that you haven't heard before. They do, however, have an uncanny knack for creating lo-fi tracks that scratch and crawl their ...more
Yahoo! MusicWere, indeed, any ever needed, there are now numerous unchallengeable reasons - The Arcade Fire, Death From Above 1979, Stars, The Constantines, Caribou, Broken Social Scene, We Are Wolves and The New Pornographers among them - to hold back on ...more
Tiny Mix Tapes.comWolf Parade is a pretty exciting band. Initially brought to attention by Modest Mouse’s Issac Brock, Wolf Parade’s widespread adulation has continued primarily through word-of-mouth, without much non-surfacy press attention until ...more
Tiny Mix TapesWolf Parade do what they do better than anyone in recent memory. ...more
Dusted MagazineThere's nothing of substance lacking in the least compelling moments of Queen Mary, and the mix of rousing wildness and reckless wisdom in its brightest points is at once inspiring, promising, and terrifically entertaining. ...more

Neumu.netFrom the first few seconds of the album, you're hooked. ...more
JunkmediaTheir sturdy, inventive debut, Apologies to the Queen Mary, draws further, fresh blood from the indie rock stone. ...more
SplendidApologies to the Queen Mary is almost an hour long, and there are certainly portions of it that aren't essential... but it's difficult to see where any fat could have been cut, as each track has its own fractured beauty. ...more

InsidePulseAlmost every song on the album could be a single, but at the same time its easy to see areas in which they ...more
All Music GuideThey'll change your life. ...more
Almost CoolThey take their rough charm and run with it, continuing the giddy momentum they hinted at on [their self-titled] EP. ...more
Rolling StoneApologies To The Queen Mary is often unfocused, but it's plenty lovable. ...more
The Onion (A.V. Club)Apologies To The Queen Mary can be a little messy and unwieldy, but Wolf Parade's willingness to overreach charges songs like "We Built Another World" with real meaning, and palpable hope. ...more
Rolling Stone"I'll Believe in Anything," the best cut on Wolf Parade's excellently shambling debut, may be the indie-rock song of the year. Overflowing with desperate, Brit-inflected yelping, a heartstring-tugging chorus and a clamorous racket that could ...more
BlogcriticsWhile this record is exceedingly good (really, go buy it, youll thank me), some of the tracks, particularily "Dinner Bells", could do with a bit more editing. ...more
