"Mixed feelings about this one. It has some great songs like Living Is a Problem Because Everything Dies, Saturday Superhouse, 9/15ths and Machines but 4-5 tracks are quite skippable. The rest of the record shows Neil's improvement in songwriting. Overall a good listen but nothing more" Reply
"Van Halen expands its musical palette on "Women and Children First," maturing beyond the party anthems of "Van Halen" and "II," while retaining its lust for life. The dark undercurrents and tension evident throughout "Women and Children First" are unlike anything heard on Van Halen's two 1970s al..." [+] Reply

""Beat Your Ass" picks up on "Inside-Out" and gives the swift kick in the ass the album title suggests. They're back with some upbeat guitar pop ready to take names and they want YOU to know it. That wry smirk of yours has Yo La Tengo written all over it." Reply

"This is the album that earned the groop the affectionate nickname of "moog terrorists" among fans. This is mostly pop music, composed of multi-layered analog synthesizers (far more melodic and harmonious than on previous work), combined with Marx-influenced and anarchist lyrics, Can-like bass rif..."

"There are some great moments, and some boring moments, on this one. At 70 minutes, this could've been shaved into a much tighter album, not necessarily cutting songs, as they all have their moments, but trimming down the excess a bit. But then it wouldn't exactly be a Dave Matthews Band album, wo..." [+] Reply
