    In choosing lower-key collaborators, however, Rowlands and Simons seem to want these more-banging-than-average tunes to speak for themselves.

    The album’s feel and sound is resiliently explosive, especially on the three-song mini mega-mix of sorts that kicks things off. ... The rest of the album feels a little more perfunctory, never quite being of a piece a la their euphoric 2010 return-to-form Further, or offering uniquely memorable high-points a la Born in the Echoes’ “Tomorrow Never Knows”-tinged face-melter “I’ll See You There.”

Their rating makes no sense based on the text of their article, it seems like they've had a few and are just slinging out text to meet quotas. There's no passion in it. Oh the album's great btw, just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in on one of the mighty relevant critics.… Full Review »
