May 8, 2012It still defiantly goes against the grain, but also explodes with immediate, attention-grabbing riffs.
-
May 7, 2012Back to their scrappy, atonal, lo-fi sound of the band's early days it mightn't be, 'In The Belly Of The Brazen Bull' is still a good album which sees The Cribs exploring new sounds and old – stumbling upon some truly excellent songs in the process.
-
May 14, 2012Raw but accomplished, tuneful yet noisy, on In the Belly of the Brazen Bull the Cribs are more comfortable with their contradictions than ever.
-
May 29, 2012Like everything else the Cribs have done, In the Belly of the Brazen Bull is a relatively easy album to like, with sharp melodies and catchy hooks. It's just held back by a feeling of indecision that permeates tracks whose parts seem to want to go in conflicting directions.

May 11, 2012While in a way this record sums up everything the Cribs are about, it fails to foreground their most exciting aspects.
-
Aug 16, 2012It is this very same forgettable, plodding, lo-fi characteristic that strikes the right chord with those that think The Cribs are the answer to rock 'n' roll.
