Mascis... provides the most compelling case yet to worship at the altar of his slacker guitar genius. [Jan 2003, p.92]
-
The results are sure to please longtime fans, while possibly reeling in a few folks who were turned off by the sonic excess of Dinosaur Jr. at their most punishing.
-
Mascis’ songs are still simple, clever, and catchy.
-
He's singing better than ever--his attenuated Neil Young whine has developed into a deeper, mellower, less distracting instrument--and his arrangements of percussive punch and fuzzy guitar have rarely sounded so effortlessly rocking.

70What keeps him afloat is his unflagging pursuit of a good tune. [Nov 2002, p.102]
-
70His songwriting is sharper than you might expect. [Dec 2002, p.141]
-
70After long, lean years of straight edge piety and arthouse restraint, guitar solos that don't hold anything back are as refreshing as they are liberating. [#224, p.56]

60Mascis sticks to his bombastic Dino formula on this record, but he still impresses with anthemic rockers, mellower jams and bluesy numbers that allow his Neil Young-inspired ax to shine. [#11, p.136]
-
60Adds a touch of wistfulness to his usually slurred vocals. [Nov 2002, p.106]
-
Mascis sounds surprisingly spry here. [14 Nov 2002, p.89]
-
56The lyrics to Mascis’ songs no longer resonate.
