    A darkly, slathering record of frustration and disillusionment, "Language. Sex. Violence. Other?" may, in time, even come to be seen as one of the true masterpieces of the noughties guitar revival.
  2. PopMatters

    This album will not bear up to being played too often.
  3. Drowned In Sound

    Stereophonics have in effect 'done a U2', packing in the arena-filling songs but with added AOR. Elements of rock dinosaurs such as ELO, Chicago and Fleetwood Mac all crop up over the course of 11 songs.

    Amazing. Different from previous albums, but it makes this one great.They've shown that they are still in form. This is the great comeback.There is something that makes you want to listen to this album all the time, again and again... Brilliant lyrics and Kelly Jones's voice wonderful as always. I just love it!… Expand

    the stereophonics are the british crap equivalent to american crap-rock bands like Creed. This album sucks pretty hard, which of course means its chart-topping stuff. I hope they like their paychecks.… Expand
