    The songs are better than solid. They're catchier than catchy. These songs are just good.

    This album is like expert plastic surgery -- you know some of it may be artificial, but damn, ain't it good?

    [Several songs] sound way too much like Strokes castoffs, a situation little helped by... Fridmann's unusually heavy-handed production. [Mar 2004, p.125]

    Although this may really "only" be a 9.8 because there is some truth to it being a bit "uneven", I'm giving it a 10 because I am addicted to killer hooks and this album is chock-full of them.… Expand
