    This album includes boasts a brilliant storyteller, amazing music, and, most important, beautifully delivered lyrics.
  2. Launch.com
    90
    It's that rare record that both thinks and rocks.
  3. PopMatters
    60
    Control finds Bazan wallowing so completely in the dark side of the human psyche that it becomes stifling after awhile.
