The 2007 sophomore release from The Most Serene Republic.

"...now we have Population, the well-developed, sturdy-as-heck sound of a band that's writing music for another race, as humans can't possibly deserve something this beautiful. These songs are angry, heavy and bold. Emotions are overflowing from every poppy vocal melody and blossoming, jazzy build-up, hinting that something is just not right with the world these young Milton, ON raised musicians are evaluating. But with music this challenging, at least someone somewhere is doing something right." - Read the full review at Exclaim.ca

"When I listen to their songs, I always imagine that this is what a kaleidoscope should sound like. They really push the envelope in terms of what music can be, without the nod to commercialism, which is what I admire most about this band." - Stereoscope
