Full review <a href="http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20100527/ENT05/100526030/1005/ENT/With-self-titled-album-Grace-Potter-and-Nocturnals-put-stronger-foot-forward">here</a>:

That’s what makes “Grace Potter and the Nocturnals” work as well as it does; it comes closer than any other recording to bottling the energy the band pours into its live shows. Potter’s voice and the guitars that were far too restrained on “This Is Somewhere” spring to life here, giving this album a confidence the band hasn’t shown in the studio since “Nothing But the Water,” the CD that opened the band to a wide audience in its home state of Vermont.
