MojoThe difference on this album is that their amps and tempos are turned up and their sound is pared down. [Jan 2003, p.102]
-
In terms of pure power-pop delight, Velocity of Sound is hard to beat -- it's one of those records that taps directly into your musical pleasure center and jabs repeatedly at the best bits.

BlenderTheir tightest, bounciest album. [#11, p.125]
-
On an album that feels about six minutes long (it's actually just under 29), a couple highlights aren't enough to make it a keeper. But you can't necessarily count the band's new younger focus as a flaw; Velocity of Sound showcases a tight, concentrated power-pop sound that the band seemed to have lost on their last couple outings.
-
The result throughout Velocity of Sound is an impression of the Apples in Stereo as introductory ironists, non-threatening to kids and parents, accessible and enjoyable to all.

Q MagazineThe perfect soundtrack to a hazy autumn evening. [Nov 2002, p.96]
-
UncutBasic, sludge-grey power pop that makes Weezer sound as kaleidoscopic as The Flaming Lips. [Nov 2002, p.128]
