Entertainment WeeklyA gas, a blast. [12 Oct 2007, p.75]

SpinWidow City goes on for a while--maybe too long. But it's quite a trip [Oct 2007, p.106]
-
Widow City's major accomplishment is how it captures the band's live power and sheds some of their mannered studio sound. It rocks hard, and often.
-
It all sounds cleaner and more accessible than anything they've done in the past, but that might actually be part of the problem.
-
Widow City covers so much territory so quickly that it can actually give you jetlag, and its geographical diversity is mirrored by its hallucinatory, irreconcilable lyrics.
-
Widow City is wordy, nerdy, and throws in everything but the hurdy-gurdy.
-
The remainder of the 16-song, hourlong question mark is emphatic spoken word hurled over a sound check--pretentious, superfluous, and ultimately unlistenable.
