    Adult. deserve respect if only for making an almost overwhelmingly vicious album that succeeds on its own unreasonable terms. [May 2003, p.102]
  2. For all its impressive competency, Anxiety Always remains a bit too oppressively literal in its electro resurrection.

    It's almost as much fun as 1981! [May 2003, p.114]
  4. They're trapped by this, their one-trick shtick; it the same old song, played again, Sam, for all those girls in white belts who won't stop 'til they get enough.

    Lies and Elegance walking arm in arm! Feverish vocals laced with the divine decadence of an original sound.
