  1. Spin
    91
    They clearly prize improvisation and spontaneity; the songs always sound like they were written this morning, refined over lunch, and recorded in time for happy hour. [Jan 2004, p.103]
  2. The Wire
    90
    Stands as a monument to punk rock action at its most intelligent. [#236, p.60]
  3. Erase Errata knows the ways of economy in both senses of the term, and though it fits neatly into the rash of albums helping punk get its groove back, At Crystal Palace casts a long shadow during its 27-minute seethe.
  4. At Crystal Palace's compressed complexity makes it a more consistent album, as well as proof that the band shows no signs of slowing down or mellowing out anytime soon.
  5. There's plenty of Minutemen twitch, Dog Faced Herman tick, Bikini Kill bossiness, and a cleverly wrapped polemic that even recalls the Desperate Bicycles' delicious DIY rhetoric.
  6. EE utterly destroy the music that inspired them as surely as they reinvent it from top to bottom.
  7. Blender
    70
    Urgent, atonal post-punk. [Nov 2003, p.113]
  8. This record finds a band scaling the heights of their precise craft in a way that gives upward mobility a good name.
