MagnetMar 20, 2012Guitars meander before slicing, the rhythm section is taut, and Gedge hits all of his favorite topics-love, lust and spite-often in the same three or four minutes. Gedge may never get this relationship stuff figured out, but at least the rest of us benefit. [No.85, p.60]

Mar 15, 2012Older, wiser, maybe a little less caustic in the execution - but as still sharp as a knife.
-
Mar 20, 2012With Valentina, [Gedge] has created another fine love album, full of clever, relatable, fine love songs.

Mar 21, 2012While you could say the Weddoes' m.o. is fairly predictable at this point, it nonetheless feels vibrant and engaging enough because of the conviction the band puts into its music, be it the bite of the buzzsaw riffs or the snap of the heavy beats or Gedge's snarling vocals, which can still sneer with the best of 'em after all these years.

UncutMar 16, 2012That Gedge remains, at 51, stranded lyrically at a romantically disappointing post A-Level party is less cause for celebration. [Apr 2012, p.88]

Mar 15, 2012There's plenty of sizzle, but nothing really sears.
