This time the group finds a better balance of the simple and the strange, making Loud Like Nature their most exciting album since Avant Hard.
-
A brave and inventive album that refuses to be held down by conventional barriers of genre or style.
-
Q MagazineThis is an album which manages the rare trick of being accessible and head-warpingly barmy both at the same time. [Nov 2002, p.96]
-
Compelling. Devastating. Amazing. And rocks like a bastard.
-
"Loud Like Nature" is hard to take seriously, but it shows that those old analog treasures still have a few good songs left in them.
-
All this variety is to be commended, but a lot of the tracks here sound like unfinished sketches.
-
BlenderThere's something forgettable and half-finished about a lot of it. [#11, p.124]
