    Just doesn't capture the magic of early TS material. Certainly doesn't come close to the Whigs. Really, a very poor record.

    While Dulli's bitter, drunken voice remains front and center, the backup vocals and orchestras nearly make the songs sound like a parody, marrying a beast to a beauty.

    Dulli... once again lets it rip. [19 May 2006, p.77]

    Powder Burns doesn't reinvent the Twilight Singers' sound, but it's clear that Greg Dulli is searching for new and darker back alleys to walk down.
