  1. Long on rote melodies and slickly produced SoCal stomp.
  2. Shows the SoCal outfit mining the same bright pop-rock riffs that are being done better by the younger kids today.
  3. Odd sonic and thematic tonal choices plague the album.

    A pair of seemingly dated numbers aside, Disconnection Notice makes for a solid and surprisingly cohesive listen. [Mar 2005, p.118]

    The band's lyrics make Smash Mouth look like Sartre, and its anthemic choruses never quite jell into actual good songs. [18 Feb 2005, p.78]

    A much more mature sound compared to there other stuff but also returning to their ska routes.
