    This is certainly the pair's most immediate record. It's also their least appealing. [Jun 2004, p.91]

    A welcome departure. [Jun 2004, p.114]
  3. Even if the sound they pursue here is just a detour, its seamless and creative fusion of rock and electronic idioms deserves respect.
  4. It nods in so many directions that our heads should be spinning, but the gel in the system is a linear production ethic that weaves the threads whilst keeping it refreshingly rough.
  5. As a bridge over the analog/digital divide, Chapel's a bit behind the curve. But, when they hit their marks, Weatherall and Tenniswood's versatility shines through.

    It's disappointing this... sounds more like the work of bright, bored A-level students than British dance royalty. [Jul 2004, p.124]
  7. For most of the album I'm stuck thinking of wincing comparisons to better music that sounds like this.
