  1. The band's playing is mellow and freer than their tenser past outings, and frontwoman Johnette Napolitano's voice remains pleasantly husky. But some of the band's beautifully gritty venom is missing.

    Offers too much mid-tempo moodiness, too little seminal fury. [8 Feb 2002, p.77]

    The magic is still there. [#53, p.73]

    Napolitano's lyrics exemplify the "perfect turn of word" for which she praises Bryan Ferry in a tribute song called Roxy. [Jan 2002, p.98]
  5. Though it's no "Bloodletting," it does make for a satisfying reminder of that masterpiece.

    [A] moody, edgy album. [Mar 2002, p.104]

    Great introspective album for people who grew up listening to Concrete Blonde.

    Well done -- captures gothic moods with the janis joplin-like intensity of Napolitano's vocals.
