Entertainment WeeklyCatchy tunes about the darkest of emotions. [14 Feb 2003, p.72]

Loud, large and unrelenting, Hate is stunning, orchestral pop.

MojoHate is a record of immense ambition and sophistication, a bold vision, a beautifully calibrated meditation on the messy business of life. [Nov 2002, p.98]
