    [The title track's] the only track on Disc Two, said to have been influenced by hip-hop mixtapes, and it serves as a microcosm for Working for a Nuclear Free City in general: overstuffed with ideas and ADD to a fault, but never, ever boring.

    The pattern continues, as vocal tracks alternate with instrumentals, building toward the 33-minute title track, an opus that contrives to be both ambitious and aimless. [Oct. 2010, p. 121]

  4. Uncut
    It's never indulgent, always exciting, ranging from the Doves-like "Burning Drum," to the electronica of "Autoblue." [Oct 2010, p.115]
