Oct 9, 2012I don't want to sound like a total pedant, but Ian Cohen has bashed out this sort of "review" before (his hatchet-job of FOTL comes to mind), so just ignore his opinion when it oozes onto this site. Mumps, etc itself though - bloody great. Lyrically engaging, musically accomplished and brilliantly sequenced, I find it to be a more than worthy addition to the Why? catalogue.

Oct 9, 2012This album kills it. I really kind of expected this album to be the sound we'd hear after Alopecia. Definitely one of the most listenable Why? albums for me. Everyone is doing their thing so well, and there are so many fun and surprising moments. Nice one.

Oct 9, 2012Give this album a chance, the Pitchfork review doesn't do this album justice. This album was what I wanted to hear after "Alopecia". It isn't quite as cohesive as the previous two albums, but the organic, multi-layered sound will keep you captivated. Give it a chance.

Oct 13, 2012Wait until the reissue in 10 years time and pitchfork will give it a 10 out of 10.
You can't take pitchfork seriously.
Their score for this album is just a troll review to get attention.

Oct 30, 2012It's a process, not a product--frustratingly inarticulate when it matters most.

Oct 25, 2012Wolf is as honest and, in a greater sense, as generous a songwriter as we have, and Mumps, Etc. may be his finest gift yet.

Oct 24, 2012Lifeless and boring.
