-The Washington Post called this EP 'mesmerizing...edgy and blissfully lulling,' while Alternative Press said, 'Words fail to describe the sheer beauty this quintet wreaks with its three guitar, 'more-is-less' sonic interplay.' Ned Raggett of All Muisc Guide went further, 'Sometimes an EP is all it takes, and while Bedhead aficionados will likely mention other songs or releases as better starting points, for brevity and impact The Dark Ages perfectly captures the gently stripped-down feeling of power and hush that the group made its own.'
