"...bridges the (narrow) gap between the wordplay of Colin Meloy, the oozing sentimentalism of Ben Gibbard, and the goofiness of Gordon Gano. For a self-released debut, All the Other Animals sounds lovely, a sincere display of winding melodies and whipsmart lyrics that could challenge BOAT for the crown of best pop act in Seattle" Ezra Ace Caraeff - Portland Mercury
"...All the Other Animals is the kind of fun, highjinks-filled record reminiscent of Pinkerton or Alien Lanes...If you ever had a soft spot for the nakedly emotional lyrics and really good guitar sound exclusive to '90s, Skeletons with Flesh on Them are a band to get excited about." Julia Mullen Gordon - Seattle Sound Magazine
"A thrilling confluence of The Fruit Bats, The Beautiful South and Pavement, Skeletons With Flesh On Them sound like the house band on an indie rock cruise...Lively, innovative and wholly original, All The Other Animals may very well be the best debut of the year." Alex Green - Caught in the Carousel
"Their lyrics are literary, and not in a show-offy "let's use a bunch of multisyllabicwords!" Decemberists kind of way. They're not afraid to rock in different styles—"Power Cords" could be a Violent Femmes song, and "All the Other Animals" could easily be a Springsteen cover—and they come across as totally earnest, which is a rare, joyous thing in this town. I'm a huge fan. What can I say?"
Paul Constant - The Stranger
