    There's emotion, extraordinary technique, and a surprising, oh-so-welcome passion in the singing.
  2. All Music Guide

    The band manages to retain a good deal of their trademark zaniness while producing what might be their most focused and polished work.

    This unabashedly jolly outing manages to be both simultaneously charming and irritating. [Feb 2003, p.106]

    A great listen, full of fantabulously catchy pop hooks and some of the most mainstrem sound of Montreal has ever put out. Gems include "Doing Nothing" and "The Blank Husband Epidemic" but the best song on here is clearly "Jennifer Louise"...so good, I listened to it fifteen times in under three hours. And it's still stuck in my head.… Expand
