    As usual, they sound less like imitation than a band remaking its record collection in its own image.

    While Popular Songs may contain few surprises for long-term admirers, it is nonetheless a contrary beast in that it demands to be heard in a single, complete sitting.

    There's little revelatory, but it's another fine record to add to their cannon. [Oct 2009, p.119]
