It's one of the best rock and roll records in years... the disc is a layered, beautiful thing that touches on every influence the band has revealed through its years with a refined production style that sounds at once edgy and glitteringly smooth.
-
Time -- and a bigger production budget -- has lost Creeper Lagoon's fuzzy, scatty edge to a fuller, more cohesive sound.
-
What's most striking is simply that they are able to take such a drastically different tack with this album and still end up sounding like the same band.
-
A far more accomplished work than anyone suspected this bunch of deadbeats capable of.
-
It's all hugely ridiculous, of course, but executed with a surprising amount of passion.

Alternative PressLike Creeper's previous albums, Take Back The Universe is a delicate piece of criss-crossing jangles and loose-limbed riffs, but the shimmery sprawl never coalesces into anything concrete. [#154, p.73]
-
BlenderCreeper retain their melodic ingenuity and slowly ascending anthems, but their vision is scattered -- the band can't decide on a single melody per song, so they ramble from one promising yet half-formed tune to the next. [Jun/Jul 2001, p.107]
