GavDSep 14, 2005Style over substance? Maybe. Cliched? Maybe. Do they create a truly fantastic noise? Definitely. Sometimes when trying to find something original really gets you down and when all you really want is something dirty, ugly and oozing with reverb, The Warlocks might just hit the spot.

PandaBearSep 29, 2005Doug R, if these guys had half the talent the Animal Collective shakes off their sandals every night, I'd own two copies of all their records. As it is, they simply blow. Go listen to a Led Zepplin album and try to calm down.

DougRSep 4, 2005While maybe not being the most original band in the world, the Warlocks write some of the best tunes out there. If you're looking for originality and a little less accessibility so you can label yourself one of "the elite" then look towards the Animal Collective. If you want solid songwriting with a dark edge to it than give the Warlocks a shot.

nickPSep 7, 2005Im going to have to agree with the other reviewer. This is the worst case of Style over substance. This band is more about striking poses and being fashionable than making great music.

RadCompanyDotNetOct 27, 2005What has seven brains and not one original idea? The Warlocks. I'm calling bullsh!t on these rock and roll posuers. The only people this might impress is listeners who have yet to discover their influences. Even beyond the mockery, the songwriting and performance is limp. Strip away the haze of the imagery and haze and your left with a bunch of a$$holes.

mattgSep 29, 2005could be best of the year. can't wait to see them live!

Somehow, the Warlocks have found the middle ground between the Raveonettes' Wall of Soundesque attack and the Flaming Lips' oddball fixation on love, death and outer space.
-
Surgery is quite an impressive effort, sporting just the right combination of nods to their influences and carefully balanced instrumental execution.

Under The RadarA thoroughly realized, if singularly fixated, release. [#10, p.107]
