Reviews3 Out of 5-"Pollard's Finally Come Stumbling Home.", 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "It's packed to bursting with sometimes inscrutable pleasures: melodies with the whiff of half-remembered classics...", 3 Stars Out of 5-"With Driving Fuzz-Pop, Fat Hooks, Urgent Choruses...", "The anthems here are recorded to sound like rooftop shots, while the ballads are among the finest Pollard has crafted...", "The band gives closure to its 19-year college rock sovereignty and doesn't let it signature bittersweet cynicism leak past the last track.", 3 Stars Out of 5-"Its Great Songs Are Prime Pollard...", Ranked #6 in Magnet's "The 20 Best Albums Of 2004" - "Before lo-fi became a style, it was the logical byproduct of a torrent of songs recorded in bursts of beery energy."
