83Grandaddy's Moogy, moody music still sounds like ELO as HAL-9000. [Oct 2005, p.137]
-
A rare EP that feels more like a full-length release with the filler trimmed. [#11, p.117]
-
80Both spectacularly riotous and deliciously bittersweet. [Nov 2005, p.112]
-
80Zilla delivers a cleverly orchestrated junket of joyful raucousness and synth whirls.
-
75A mixed bag of bouncy, speed-fueled pop songs and spacey neo-psychedelia flooded with waves of synthesizer.
-
If this is an indication of what to expect [on the next LP], things are going to get very hairy. [8 Oct 2005, p.43]
-
70An essential half-term report. [Nov 2005, p.94]
-
68Less produced and certainly less poppy. [#17, p.97]
-
60A vehement kiss-off to California's Central Valley. [Nov 2005, p.136]
-
60Tracks such as Florida and Pull The Curtains... add a Pixies-ish aggression to their signature bleepy country rock. [Nov 2005, p.124]
-
More difficult to embrace than earlier Grandaddy releases.
-
56A goofy, sloppy mini-album, cramming familiar Weezer fuzz, stoned piano ballads, playful analogue synths, and misguided Bad Company references into a little more than half an hour.
-
50A boring reminder of past work. [Dec 2005, p.104]
-
Whatever magic they once had appears to have deserted them.
-
Aside from those two songs ["Florida" and "Pull The Curtains"], however, there aren't many highpoints.

GeoM6Really easy!, Like a friendly ballad with two Rock songs. But it is one of my favorites bands.

SeanT8i like this a lot because it harkens back to their "under the western freeway" days. i am glad they got rid of some of the polish.
