  • Summary: Compared to a no-wave B-52's, the garage-rock trio Rogers Sisters return with a second LP, produced by Tim Barnes.

  1. The Invisible Deck is often dark and scattered, and doesn't provide the rush of instant gratification that Three Fingers and Purely Evil do, but its growth and promise are more exciting in their own right.
  2. Magnet
    80
    A taut, 40-minute affair with no filler. [#71, p.110]
  3. Alternative Press
    80
    Hella fun. [May 2006, p.166]
  4. The Sisters always kick ass live, but The Invisible Deck is the first time they've managed to do justice to their tough, slippery, muscular sound in the studio.
  5. Uncut
    70
    Their sound is now driven by a dark undertow, with heavy psych-rock and muscly R&B inflections. [May 2006, p.119]
  6. Recalling X's boisterous male/female mantras and careering boogie by way of Sonic Youth's frosty downtown cool, The Invisible Deck is a confident and polished record built of cavernous drums, simply slithering riffs, filthy bass grooves, and high-energy dynamics.
  7. The fun is gone. On The Invisible Deck, the Rogers Sisters sound like just another band.
