    After having owned the CD for several weeks now, I can confidently say that I like it. A whole lot. Having each song in B flat minor does make this challenging to listen to from start to finish without being a little irked by what one reviewer above called a "frustrating same-y-ness," and that is, in fact, the only place The Raveonettes fall short for me. Every single song, when listened to on its own, is excellent. As an entire album, it's a little bit too much, perhaps. If the songs didn't work so incredibly well, I would have given this a 7. The CD earns one extra point on the merits of each individual song, and one extra point for the exhilirating potential of it all.

    Sounds like Timbuk 3 on "Psychocandy". This duo shows promise, but they need to find their own "cool".

    Easily one of the best albums I've ever had the fortune of listening to. I don't understand the critique against the tracks sounding the same, though. They are in the same genre, and thus, they sound somewhat alike. *I* sure can tell one song from another.

    A rockabilly Jesus And Mary Chain. [Mar 2003, p.114]

    This band could, and should, go mega. [Jan 2003, p.99]
  3. Entertainment Weekly
    75
    As easily taken for a salute to '60s transistor-radio pop as for Jesus and Mary Chain worship. [28 Mar 2003, p.68]
