"Krautrock meets Garage Rock in a nocturnal album with a plenty of industrial influence. Maybe the birth of Post-Punk." Reply

"I thought The Clash made their cover like that to book end the era of Rock n' Roll, srating with Elvis playing his guitar and ending with Paul Simonon smashing his." Reply

"There are a couple of tracks in particular that actually stand out but in general its not that special, her voice is her absolute treasure and lets hope that in the future she is able to work her music better in that sense." Reply

"I was never that crazy about Spoon until I heard this album. The great synths and punchy rock songs make this album much different from their previous material. Also, I love the production especially with the drums which sound very crisp. Great energy, very catchy, this is their best album yet in..." [+] Reply

The first half feels like a mix between Licensed to Ill's energy (but mellower) and Paul'..." [+] Reply

"With the exception of some very unique very strange very alienated sounding guitar solo's from Omar Rodriquez, this is progressive rock at it's finest. I have no idea what Rodriguez is trying to communicate with his guitar fills on Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus, they get quite a bit better on the Widow..." [+] Reply

This album always seemed to me to be an extremely determined Curtis attempting to prove to the world that he was more than just a great pop songwriter (which he certainly was, and The Impressions are probably my favourite singles band of all-time), but also a Curtis overco..."
