    This is an awesome album, almost certainly Placebo's pinnacle, although I'd love to be proved wrong.

    Placebo's indie-glam rock fusion still sounds on CD like a good idea, and little more.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)

    Unfortunately, this is not only their weakest album, it's their most confused.
