    Captures their Tex-Mex boogie at full tilt. [Aug 2005, p.105]

    By keeping the grooves messy, Gomez shortchange the shimmering, Brit-poppy quirks that have made their albums unique.

    The attention does wander over two CDs... but vigorous renditions of Bring It On and Get Myself Arrested are reminders that Gomez's psych-blues revivalism really was quite special. [Aug 2005, p.128]

    Gomez do nothing to rethink or reinvigorate their earlier recordings; in fact, when Out West's renditions are compared to the originals, the live versions sound dull and lifeless.

    I've always wanted to listen to Gomez live and this is superb chance, since I live in Argentina and they haven't come around yet. "Out west" reminded me of a mid 60's or 70's band: great playing, great jamming, a freet spirit and, among anything, fabolous songs.… Expand
