Think of it as more of a mix tape because the British quintet's jam-band explorations dip into everything from Beatles-esque pop and Delta-blues-influenced ballads.

In Split the Difference, Gomez has not lived up to, but surpassed, their initial success.
-
FilterRather than trying to funk up and freak out the tunes with oddball sonic contributions, the fivesome rely heavily on the strength of their three-part harmonies and the head-bouncing guitar hooks. [#10, p.90]
-
As an album its so random and erratic that its neither a brave step forward nor a disastrous wrong turn; just an entertaining detour while they workout where theyre actually going.

Rolling StoneOn most of Split The Difference... Gomez pour on the punch that makes their live shows such a gas. [27 May 2004, p.82]

If you've enjoyed Gomez's musical direction in the last six years, you're sure to take pleasure in listening to Split The Difference.
-
MagnetBy stripping away the symphonic, avant edge... [Gomez] loses much of what made it unique in the first place. [#64, p.96]
