  1. Unfortunately there are too many moments where the pace flags, however, and Lavelle, while not exactly running out of ideas, falls back on the familiar ones.
  2. UNKLE are good at gothic bombast and when they pile on the strings they produce densely atmospheric pieces such as 'Cut Me Loose.'
  3. Mojo
    60
    Only a fraction of the songs here reach a truly memerizing apex. [Sep 2008, p.110]
  4. Despite boasting another stellar line-up of guest vocalists, James Lavelle’s dance-rock project once again fails to convince.
  5. End Titles rewards just about any amount of listening investment equally, and it completely lacks sharp edges.
  6. Somewhere between Ennio Morricone, Talk Talk and late-period Massive Attack, it is atmospheric, if relentlessly bleak, with the exception of cult director Abel Ferrara's imitation of Bob Dylan on 'Open Up Your Eyes'.
  7. Uncut
    40
    A mish-mash of tracks from or intended for film soundtracks, is mearly more of the same with added strings. [Sep 2008, p.109]

    Atmospheric, but not particularly memorable or exciting.
