    I like the songs they have on CGOL but the whole, Phil Spector-WallofSound thing they tried is too much. If it was the point to overproduce the record to sound like Spector, it wasn't a good point. The songs are though and 'Great Love Sound' has to be among the best singles of the year.

    Cinematic, loaded and decadent. [Sep 2003, p.109]

    A full-length valentine to the Jesus and Mary Chain. [#60, p.110]
  3. PopMatters

    That Jesus and Mary Chain vibe is still there, but this time around, the focus is almost exclusively on just how catchy Wagner and Foo can make each song, and the result is surprisingly effective.
