V is among the band's most confident and inspired releases.
-
V doesn't bring Live right back to earth, but it does find the group playing to strengths, experimenting with recording techniques, and striving for renewed relevance.
-
Kowalczyk may have filtered some of the bluster from his lyrics, but he has wisely left the jagged edges in his music.
-
SpinThere is a sense on V that Live will stay around long enough to ride into the state-fair sunset. [Oct 2001, p.137]
-
Ed Kowalczyk and crew burden their sound with angry guitars, pseudoraps and needless swearing torn straight outta the Fred Durst book of lyric writing.
-
Q MagazineUnfortunately, Kowalczyk's conceited couplets belong to the dark ages. [Nov 2001, p.124]
-
BlenderIt doesn't help that Live operate at two speeds: overamped anthems and over-the-top ballads, which render [Kowalczyk's] doubtless heartfelt homilies rather empty. [Aug/Sep 2001, p.125]
