    This is a well-rounded album that is as artistically rich as it is sonically pleasing. The Sounds are going to be around for awhile.
  2. Spin
    60
    Front-loaded with buzzy riffs and cutting vocals, the third studio album from this Swedish band is bracingly ambitious, clearly designed to be heard in arenas and stadiums.
  3. Pitchfork

    This is a decently crafted, moderately hooky, fairly vacuous power-pop album, and under the right light, you could do a whole lot worse.

    Crossing The Rubicon is a impressive little rock album that contains some great songs, but the only problem I have with this album is that some of the songs seem a bit corny and cheesy. But besides that, it is a great album for fans of New Wave music and The Sounds.… Expand

    This album has some good songs, but a lot of the songs bored me. There could have been more better songs.
