    Everything here roars. [May 2006, p.108]
  2. There's clarity visible beneath the waterline, sharp lyrics and even some hummable choruses. [Oct/Nov 2005, p.141]
  3. The blandest rock n' roll record possible.

    One of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Her sound has changed since the last album, which was a little sweeter. This one's gritty, with more distorted guitar and less cutesy lyrics than some of her work. There really isn't a bad track on this disc, which goes by way too quickly. Tracks 1, 2, 5, 7, and 12 are my favorites. Expand

    I'm juliana's stalker,so it's kind of hard to be unbiased, and i hate to compare it with other albums. she continues to amaze. she's everything rock and roll should be. her songs don't beg to be liked. or do they?her records are never quite as good as you want them to be, yet they're still my favorite records.she's got nothing left to prove, but keeps proving it. Keep writing, jules!!!!! Expand

    Don't be misled by the critics' rating, they never have understood what Juliana's music is about. 'Made In China' is mostly-good-with-some-great Juliana, easily her hardest rocking album yet, and unlike anything she has ever recorded before. She continues to create stellar music that SHE wants, not what others might expect from her, no matter what the backlash might be. Bless her for that! Expand
