    I still cannot understand why Dan Andriano sings. Matt Skiba does a much better job in my opinion but this album has maybe five or six stand out songs while the rest of the cd is just mediocre.

    Their best by a mile. [Jun 2003, p.100]

    For a genre whose young bands are increasingly concerned with girls and girls only, the Alkaline Trio have delivered an album offering far more than the pink blush of awkward adolescence. [Jul 2003, p.108]

    Alkaline Trio subvert their perky, zinging three chord mall-punk with misanthropy, melancholy and alcohol-sodden, world-weary wisdom. [Jun 2003, p.92]
