  1. The Rapture has made a safe record.
  2. And so it goes on sonic cliche after awful lyrics after terrible synth settings after lazy drum beats after... well, you get the picture.
  3. It seems like they decided to go whole hog with the Duran Duran template. Not the best strategy, considering it isn't even working for Le Bon and company any more.

    Overall there's a sense of a moment having passed. [Oct 2006, p.123]

    The best moments are [Jenner's] least intelligible. [Oct 2006, p.141]
