  06. our history will be what we make of it
  07. last time this year
  08. sing the word hope in four-part harmony
• "post-rock oldu abi artik abi" diyenlere pek bir sey ifade etmeyecek bir albumdur. maybeshewill'in son 1-2 senedir drone'lari patir patir patlattigini dusundugumuzde, bu albumun alisildik bir post-rock tanimina oturdugunu soylemek dogru olmaz. post-metal'den girmek, sludge'dan cikmak gerekebilir janrlardan yararlanmamiz zaruri ise. maybeshewill pelican'a, isis'e goz kirpmaya baslamisti, bu albumle dupeduz is atiyor.
  
  this time last year ve last time this year'in her name is calla split'inde de yer aldigini, our history will be what we make of it'te edward murrow konusmalarina yer verildigini, albume adini veren sarkidaki konusmalarin da bizzat grup tarafindan yazildigini not dusmek gerek. onun yaninda maalesef vasat bir album, arada kalmis bir album. her yemekten bir kepce mantigiyla esnaflik muessesinde basarili olunur da, muzik de olmuyor.
• bazi otoritelerce(!) begenilmemis albumdur. belli başlı ögelere surekli takilip kalmak demek, kendini tekrar etmek demektir. bu sadece müzikte değil her alanda geçerlidir. dolayisi ile sounda ekstra ögeler ekleniyor diye "olmamis bu" demek kisisel fikrime göre yanlistir. takintilari olanlara maalesef bunlar bir şey ifade etmemektedir tabii.
• çok afedersiniz de şu aşağıdaki şeyleri yazan grubun kötü albüm yapacağına inanmıyorum; zıkkım olsa, çalsalar dinlerim hatta. (bkz: maybeshewill)
  
  albüme ismini veren şarkıda geçen sözler;
  
  we are young, confident, affluent, and with no memory of tougher times
  we've grown up in an era of never ending financial growth
  and expected things to stay that way
  we've grown up in owner-occupied homes
  with total acceptance of technology, global warming and terrorism
  our whole society has been based on consumerism for the past fifteen years
  making us dream consumers, yet we don't know the difference between a credit card
  and a debit card, and we have no idea how much a pint of milk costs
  on average we have eight hundred illegally downloaded songs, and one in eight of us
  spends more than one hundred pounds a month on our mobile phone bill
  we've never read a newspaper, and we've never used our chance to vote
  we allow our governments to make decisions without giving us all the facts
  they send troops abroad who will die
  ın order that we can steal resources from the people who have them
  people who meant us little or no harm until we invaded their country
  we allow those troops to commit horrendous atrocities
  and yet our leaders hang our alleged enemies for much less
  we've spent years entrusting our futures to our parents, our governments
  the banks and the corporations who have continually lobbied for their own interests
  and we've let them make selfish decisions
  that have left our society teetering on the edge of ruin
  we're blinded from the information that would really shock us
  by stories of sex and sleaze which doesn't make the smallest difference to our lives
  and so we have no desire to do anything about the things that really do
  we've watched as greed wipes billions of the world's stock markets
  destroys jobs and lives
  and proves that capitalism is just as corruptible by human nature as communism
  these are tough times but we seek solace in our friends and co-conspirators
  we make small differences in each other's lives, and dream that we can make real progress
