    This album, as seemingly different as each song is, runs pretty smoothly.
  2. End Titles...Stories for Film wears the signs of its creation poorly, unlike the quite-good odds'n'sods collection "More Stories," which despite its high quality was released only in Australia.
  3. It's not vintage and it doesn't finally deliver what the hype of "Psyence Fiction" promised, but given enough time it's an album you could learn to love.

    Only a fraction of the songs here reach a truly memerizing apex. [Sep 2008, p.110]
  5. UNKLE are good at gothic bombast and when they pile on the strings they produce densely atmospheric pieces such as 'Cut Me Loose.'
  6. Despite boasting another stellar line-up of guest vocalists, James Lavelle’s dance-rock project once again fails to convince.
  7. Besides these somewhat untraditional, lackluster guest spots--odd that the one thing that used to hold Lavelle above water is now the most notable problem--is the fact that End Titles...Stories for Film has absolutely no flow to it, something Lavelle more or less acknowledges in the liner notes.

    Just moving. War Stories with more ambiance.

    Atmospheric, but not particularly memorable or exciting.
