    The Boys unleash some of their most sublime and accessible material in years.

    Release slowly unfolds with a sparse elegance, resonating as the detached dance-popsmiths' finest complete album in a decade. [June 2002, p.90]

    Release sounds at once like a last gasp and a reinvention, which makes it all the more moving.
