"Brooklyn's Palomar makes indie-pop sound like it wandered through a cloud of gamma radiation and wound up with superpowers: lurid muscles, torn jeans, the whole nine. Rachel Warren's singing is simple and tonally pure, with the same mix of velvety sweetness and skyscraping grandeur that makes boys swoon for Jenny Lewis...."
- Pitchfork

"This is a very strong LP, with Palomar rivaling the Essex Green for the title of Most Underrated Indie Rock Band Ever.... All things, forests is an exercise in the tension between exuberance and cool, joy and darkness, seeing the forest for the trees."
- Austin Chronicle

"[Palomar] hits that combination of energy and introspection precisely, making the album seem both a bouncy rock album and a thoughtful, sensitive pop album. It's complicated in an exciting way, like the universe."
- Big Takeover Magazine, issue #60

"This Brooklyn quartet has been quietly making some of the most consistently wonderful indie pop around.... These three ladies and one dude have made one hoot of an album, jam packed with memorable melodies and tasty hooks that will leave you craving more."
- The Tripwire

"I think this is their best collection of songs yet. Melancholy, rocking, supremely catchy and brilliant songwriting. These guys write songs that will no doubt become the soundtrack to my Spring/Summer 2007."
- Pasticaisle

"All things, forests’ momentum and energy shows that, sonically, whatever setbacks have dogged the band have bolstered its enthusiasm, not diminished it. Would someone please explain why Palomar isn’t ruling the airwaves?"
