After hearing "Your Ex-Lover is Dead" 2 years ago, I then quickly decided to buy "Set Yourself on Fire," because I figured that if they released such a beautiful song, the others must at least be halfway decent. After buying the CD, I was relatively impressed with the Stars' quirkyness and their quixotic approach to recording songs, but I was overall slightly disappointed. The songs were basically all the same, ostensibly just an attempt to weird out their listeners with awkward noises more than anything. But, after buying this CD on a whim, the Stars really hit the nail on the head with their "In Our Bedroom After the War."
After listening to the first song, "The Beginning After the End," I thought it was going to be the same old Stars and their weirdness manefested on yet another boring CD. However, after listening through the entire album, it honestly was a musical masterpiece. The piano throughout the whole CD feels like a sort of treat to the ears. Amy Millian's voice is so subtle but yet so outspoken, definitely one of my favorite sounds ever. The CD shows the Stars' wide variety of musical expertise and gifts the listeners with a beautiful sound pleasing in every way.
I highly suggest this album, it was without a doubt a very good choice.

This is the first of there albums I have bought and I was not disappointed at all. All around great album. Much to my suprise none of these songs ever became a single. There are definately a few that stand out; that are just outstanding.

It takes some repeated listening but it's all worth it....one of the best this year & I think it's at par if not better than some of their previous albums.

"In Our Bedroom After the War" is an amazing album. The way that the album holds together is absolutely beautiful, and the idea of a war acts as a metaphor for a crumbling relationship. The musicianship is superb, the songwriting is very interesting and the lyrics give me chills every time. Amy Milan's and Torquil Campell's voice blend absolutely perfectly and there are few singers who have such a good sound singing together as they do. Every song is wonderful, but a few of my favorites include "Barricade" in which Campell sings solo with sparse piano accompaniment and really shows off his voice, "Personal" which uses awesome dialog lyrics alternating between the two singers to illustrate a failed attempt at internet dating, "The Ghost of Genova Heights" which is very catchy and features Campell doing a very Prince-esque pre-chorus and of chorus, the epic, closing title track which is filled with so much hope and energy. It is definitely different from their previous effort, featuring a more sparse sound and a return to prominence of keyboards over guitars. This album is absolutely beautiful and I don't know that I'll ever get tired of it.

I have to say that I absolutely HATED "Set Yourself On Fire", their previous cd (my critique of it is available to read elsewhere). And I am so close to giving this new album 1 star, except that I must be honest and say that there are two good songs here. I like "The Night Starts Here" and "My Favorite Book" - and THAT'S IT. The rest of the album has more of the same "pweshuss" treacly singing from both the man and woman. I just hate how earnest, "honest", and "heartfelt" they're trying to sound. The reality is that it's false. They're trying to capture something soulful, but it only rings hollow. I feel like they're trying to deceive themselves and their audience. I for one, am not fooled. As for the dvd? Believe it or not, I actually had to see who was behind this trainwreck act. The thing I noticed is the two leads appear to be much older than I imagined, like in their late 30's. Is this a group dealing with arrested psychological development issues? The concert is boring and every song sounds the same. My eyes rolled in embarrassment several times whenever the camera was on Bernard Sumner-wannabe, Torquil Campbell. I have a serious question: were they (or are they still) formerly a Christian pop band? Because I recognize in Stars a blandness that typifies that genre. That would explain a lot. To summarize, I like a couple of songs on this album, and that is good - but this is a band I still have contempt for.
