    As their third album in 25 years, V for Vaselines showcases a surprisingly staid band, but one that occasionally flashes its early brilliance for listeners.

    V for Vaselines leaves a lasting pop smear.

    Interspersed among the cheerful speed anthems are pretty, delicate moments that highlight the enduring songwriting bond that prevails between Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee.

    It’s a tried and tested formula, but no one really does it in a manner as unfailingly, beautifully hilarious as The Vaselines.

    No longer quite so greasy, but rewardingly slick. [Oct 2014, p.80]

    V for Vaselines may not make many year-end best-of lists but it's the final word that these people can rock on their own.
