    Withering, witty and clever. [Apr 2011, p.94]

    Their 26-year break has generated new sounds and renewed enthusiasm, and there's not an ounce of fat here.

    The duo neither pretends to revisit its successful past nor claims a faux renaissance, instead opting for an honest, if solid, collection of songs.
