    Just when it's all starting to sound like leftovers from The Bends, rock-god producer Rick Rubin steps in to gie the album some oomph. [24 Jul 2003, p.90]
  3. The tunes are tepid, but that's not to say they aren't enjoyable to listen to -- in fact, the songs aren't bad at all, but they're not exactly great either.

    Fabulous stuff here! I'm a huge fan of Radiohead, the Stereophonics, Verve, Blur, Travis and other Brit-Pop bands. It's nice to Fabulous stuff here! I'm a huge fan of Radiohead, the Stereophonics, Verve, Blur, Travis and other Brit-Pop bands. It's nice to hear some American rock with heart and intelligence in this era of over-produced bubblegum pop. Rock On PaloAlto! Full Review »
