Though imperfect, Hill's intensifying sonic clarity presents the Babies as a group that still believes in rock'n'roll as a powerful language, one that can help sort out mortal complexities and say something about the way we live.

The Babies bottled the lightning of a fertile songwriting partnership on their debut, and with this followup they seem to have fleshed out their sound as a band.

What really makes Our House on the Hill an impressive leap for the group is the greater sense of diversity in songwriting seen throughout the album.

A sophomore effort that sounds largely indistinguishable from the debut in its strengths and weaknesses.
