"A very second degree album: the singer (Barney Sumner)seems happy not to sing very well, like he does in New Order. They use dance 80's synth that were already outdated back in 1991. All on purpose! Adding to that a few touches of guitars from Johnny Marr, a strong songwriting, and you get an alb..."  [+]  Reply

"I love what Matsson is doing. I love seeing an artist evolve and that’s exactly what Matsson is doing, he’s moving forward with his music. This is drastically different from anything he’s released before. He’s progressively added more and more to his music as time has gone on, an electric guitar ..."  [+]  Reply

"Wow, not many recent albums quite have this level of emotional power, and it's great proof how the rock guitar can still be a valuable weapon. A nearly perfect first half is followed by an almost equally fascinating but uneven second half, but for an album that sort of makes a habit of walking on..."  [+]  Reply

"When you look at the lineup (Coltrane, Garland, Chamber, Jones) for this album. it is not a miracle that the album is an excellent work of art and deservedly belongs to the shelves of any jazz buff. Both sax men compliment each other so well. RECOMMEDED listen"  Reply

"Look, Modest Mouse is my favorite band but I'm sadly not feeling this one. Not bad, just unmemorable like WWDBTSES. The production remains relatively flat, Of Course We Know could've been great if the massive bass drum was heavier and louder. The groovier moments (Best Room, Lampashades on Fire) ..."  [+]  Reply
