fuzzriteAug 24, 2002"When you lash out against society / And find yourself in penitentiary / And your cellmate says, 'You belong to me' / You gotta take it like a man"

ThomJun 22, 2005A true masterpiece. The sound of rock n roll mixed with jazz and punk forms the basis of the album, a true "Sonic Infusion" of sound reaching from the highest of pop song to the lowest of dirge.

[Anonymous]Aug 24, 2002The Pitchfork review, like usual, is totally off. Skip track one (we agree on that) and crank the volume: this record is the shit. It's a throwback to Mudhoney's glory days, but the MC5/Stooges/Sonics vibe has never been stronger. Hell Wayne Kramer even plays bass on one song. And Arm's lyrics are great. A true return to form for a once-great band.

The band sounds as dense and murky as ever, although it has added a few free-jazz strokes on some tracks.

Since Weve Become Translucents greatest flaw -- its dumbed-downedness -- becomes apparent and sad as the albums first half goes on.

Since We've Become Translucent does an almost unimaginably good job of adding heft, weight and, god I hate to say it, maturity to the garage idiom.
