  1. The Guardian
    100
    One of the most flat-out enjoyable rock records in a long time.
  2. Drowned In Sound
    80
    Whereas other pop-punk bands revel in sheer stupidity, Superchunk conjure up a profound musical purpose and sense of wonderment from behind every goofy-eyed chorus and oversized hook line. It is bloody impressive to say the least.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    It's an unassumingly great record that exists solely to celebrate the pleasures of making a gigantic, melodious racket.
  4. Uncut
    60
    Listening to the ramalama of "Slow Drip" and "Hot Tubes" you can't help but cheer them on. [Nov 2010, p.102]

    I love Superchunk, and at the time I was listening to this, I was also revisiting No Pocky for Kitty. I like the way they've changed and haven't changed at the same time. The energy and sound is similar to the old days, but there is more shredding, and a fuller sound. Also, hooks abound, and that's perhaps the deal-maker on this, or any album I enjoy.… Collapse

    a fine return to the marketplace. the trademark hooks and power pop melodies are there, as is the energy.
    Some of the years stand out runes, i    n My Gap Feels Weird and Crossed Wires.… Expand
