    This album is awesome. I loved it the first time I heard it. True The The fans will appreciate this album the most.

    I didn't like this album the first few time I listened to it, but it has grown on me... now one of my favorites.

    Music to lose yourself in and merge with it - a soundtrack to a dream

    Must be listened to between sunset and sunrise to be fully appreciated. A fresh, intense, melodic experience. This band has unstoppable vitality.

    It seems that Matt Johnson was a little bit tired of commercial songs and fall back to his roots. The album is a little hard to grab at a first hearing. Like almost all Matt's albums, it grows up everytime we heard it. It seems the perfect soundtrack for George Orwell's 1984.

    Melody and harmony are almost completely absent. Some of the lyrics are embarrassing ("Kentucky fried genocide" deserves to be repeated?).

    On Naked Self, Johnson hasn't let up one bit. His tongue is as sharp as ever, and his songs show that updating one's style doesn't have to mean dressing in this year's airwave fashions.

    NakedSelf feels more like a transition than a treatise, like a little bit less when more is actually called for.

    NakedSelf finds him returning to the slow-burn industrial grind of his best work.
