    As a huge Menomena fan, this album was disappointing. Overall not a bad album, but easily their weakest effort yet. Not sure how much artistic input Brent Knopf had, but it seems to have made a difference.

    By purging themselves of old ghosts in such a forceful manner, Seim and Harris have tapped into a wellspring of emotional catharsis with Moms.

    Moms is perfect evidence that Menomena are still more than capable of holding their own.

    Possibly it's the glorious touch of melodic grandiosity forming the heart of Don't Mess With Latexas that supplies the most climatic moment to remember amid this remarkable, kaleidoscopic offering. [Nov 2012, p.84]
