    A slick, curious concoction that sounds like Dave Matthews crossed with the Beta Band.

    The middling adult contemporary slop, although awful, isn’t what ultimately drowns In Our Gun. That blame can fall squarely in the lap of misguided attempts at moody electronica, something the band has more successfully dabbled in previously.

    Gomez's clattering eclecticism has won endless plaudits, but now seems like a red herring when their exploratory approach remains fixated on Dixieland, Seventies soul and hip hop. [Apr 2002, p.100]

    Gomez once appeared to have something interesting going on, but it's been a long time and they've gotten nowhere. Forgetable.
