JonLAug 21, 2006The best Spiritualized album, period. Bombastic, yes, but rather than crushing the confessional songwriting of Pierce, it transcends it, and the emotional impact is stunning. Too bad Amazing Grace couldn't live up to it...

NorthFreedomFighterApr 6, 2005Overwhelming, ambitious and absolutely empowering. This albums is the great work of a man who is not afraid to dive into his pretention to deliver what he feels the world needs to hear. Utterly brilliant

TravisJul 7, 2004i really just don't understand how it could have gone so damn wrong. there seem to be only two songs on this album - the rehashed versions of 'electricity', and downright boring dirges, cleaved in the middle by a merely passable exercise in free-jazz. it's horrible. the absolute worst spiritualized album.

ÆFeb 18, 2002Nowhere near as good as their previous work. The songs are mediocre at best, overall its a dull and boring album, after 4 years since their last release, I was expecting something better than this.

JamesT.Nov 19, 2001This cd close a perfect circle initiated with lazer guided melodies. From minimal to maximun overdrive. Pink Floyd meets Phillip Glass. Brian Wilson remixed by krautrockers. A gospel choir on acid. Brilliant.

The WireLet It Come Down suffers just a little from Pierce's presumably healthier outlook. [#211, p.66]
-
'Let It Come Down' is another towering achievement - both musically and emotionally.... This is music as it's meant to be: raw, colossal and awe-inspiring. No wonder everything else just pales in comparison.

Pierce enhances his trademark electro-scapes with rich gospel choruses and grand orchestral flourishes for operatic effect.
