Everything here is all programmed refinement, stylish melodies and vocal fireworks.

UncutAn album that, on first listen, glides by doing nothing wrong. Second time around, you realise that, more accurately, it's doing everything right, and you're spellbound. [Jun 2003, p.92]
-
BlenderThis is slick, snarky pop with flashes of brilliance. [#12, p.151]
-
The mix of fast paced rockers with more reflective reggae and dub-inspired tracks make this eighth offering one of the group's better albums.
-
There are no sweeping creative revelations -- are there ever, on eighth albums? -- but nothing here sullies the group's legacy either.
-
The songs are immediately accessible, with a classic rock/modern pop delivery that’s every bit as lively and exciting as the very first disc this band released.
-
MojoCharacterised by both an ill-advised flirtation with cutting-edge electronics and an overabundance of rather washed-out reggae. [Jun 2003, p.98]
