    Performances are generally middling, but a few songs show a glimmer of the band's former jagged glory.
  2. As they add the quaver of age to Andy Gill's slashes and modernize Jon King's animadversions with cellphone photos, comparison with the 20-year-old Mall quickly reveals how blessed the mainstays are in drummer Mark Heaney, who in the great tradition of Marky Ramone has both the musical sense to respect Hugo Burnham's simplicity and the historical savvy not to attempt an anachronistic replication.

    First album in 16 years for the post-punk maestros. Riveting and robotic. [Feb. 2011, p. 106]
