    It might still mortify some of his more purist fans, but there's little on this record that a few instrumental-version substitutions wouldn't fix.

    The parts here still speak louder than the whole. [Mar 2015, p.110]

    The LP is repeatedly let down by its own exhibitionism.

    Sure, it has its moments.... However, things come unstuck when Joker swings for romance.

    If The Mainframe is a film, then it's a Michael Bay blockbuster: slick and engaging but totally adolescent in worldview, its plot tortuous, its characters flimsily drawn, all of it an excuse for a string of eye-popping action set-pieces.
