UncutA slightly disappointing attempt to hammer their quirks into a more commercial rock shape. [May 2004, p.99]
-
The Beta Band have reached out into traditional rock dynamics with mixed results.
-
Several tracks are shapeless and patchy, and Mason's floating-in-space vocals sound cripplingly disengaged.
-
Frustrating... We know that the Beta Band have one jaw-dropping album in them. 'Hot Shots' was nearly it, but certainly this is not.
-
FilterYou want to praise them for their attempts to define a unique voice, but a unique voice isn't necessarily an interesting one. [#11, p.96]
-
Taken as a group, Heroes to Zeros' slower songs are the musical equivalent of a month-long sinus infection: heavy on the repetition, sleepy detachment and sensory deprivation.
