Generally favorable reviews - based on 11 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: John McEntire produced this third album for the Chicago indie rockers led by Jim Elkington.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 6 out of 11
  2. Negative: 0 out of 11
  1. A richly executed and textural record-one of the best guitar-based albums of 2007 thus far.
  2. At their best-pretty much all of Black Pompadour qualifies-The Zincs sound like an accomplished friend, sharing skill and knowledge without being pretentious about it.
  3. There's more under the pleasant surfaces of these songs than first meets the ears, more subtly inventive textures than blatant quirks: evidence that the Zincs are indeed on the move.
