    I bought this album after hearing a few tracks from other albums. This album and the vocals are too screechy for my liking. There is energy but the music seems to lack melody. Maybe I was just expecting more songs like: Dizzy, Red Shoes, Bright Yellow Gun, Counting Backwards and, Serene. I regret paying for this album.

    Their loudest, noisiest, most immediate album yet -- and it's one of their best.

    Throwing Muses are the counterpart-- or maybe the antidote-- to the driven, enraptured solitude of [Hersh's] solo material; they deliver a release and an excitement that's been missing from her work for years.

    This is an album that's tough to love but impossible to ignore.
