Alternative PressFor all of his wild swinging, Jones never fully connects. [May 2005, p.136]
-
MojoFierce, minimalistic but defiantly pop-sensible hard rock. [Apr 2005, p.88]
-
Jones still croaks out songs with that wretched voice of his, an amalgam of nicotine, alcohol and AOR. The guitars still churn out feeble riffs more appropriate for a Hot Wheels commercial than a grown-up's rock album, and even when they're on to something it feels like they're only fumbling with a good idea.
-
This album will not bear up to being played too often.
-
They sound like a marginally smarter American modern-rock act, screaming their pain over raw-boned riffs that could sure use some technicolor pizazz.
-
In some ways is a step backwards towards their rockist, meat-and-potatoes roots, and in other ways is a quantum leap into the unknown.
-
The music may seem invigorated and fresh, but lyrically, the usual ingredients are all present, correct and indigestible as ever.
-
UncutA masterclass in menace. [Apr 2005, p.97]
