MagnetA monumental record from a towering talent. [#59, p.103]
-
Yours, Mine, and Ours is a fantastic album. In fact, it's one of the best things I've heard so far this year. On the other hand, I can count at least three other albums that bear the Joe Pernice stamp that are better than this.
-
The 10 tracks are hands down the most irresistible pop music you'll hear this year.
-
An adventurous meeting place between the Smiths' guitar-driven anthems, the Zombies' vocally intricate garage-pop, and melt-in-your-mouth '70s Quaalude rock.
-
So when I say that Yours, Mine & Ours sounds too good to be true, I'm resolved after much deliberation that this is an entirely positive thing: it is impeccably conceived, executed, and produced.
-
Under The RadarUltimately, the saccharine vocals are forgivable, but those who like their power pop with a little bite may find the sound a bit off-putting. [#5, p.115]
-
The Pernice Brothers' strongest effort yet.
-
MojoThe balance between Joe's resigned words and uplifting melodies remains sublime. [Aug 2003, p.100]
-
Beyond serving as an excellent follow up to The World Won't End, Yours, Mine & Ours reveals a whole new side to the Pernice Brothers.
-
Entertainment WeeklyYours Mine & Ours has an easygoing vibe that gives Pernice's literate folk-pop ample room to roam. [11 Jul 2003, p.78]
-
Each track is fully realized, thoughtfully written, and prudently performed, rolled out with a steadiness that can become a little maddening after a handful of listens.
-
Doesn't quite have the ragged charm or the wry humor of 2001's outstanding The World Won't End; the occasional dose of guitar bombast ("One Foot in the Grave") doesn't serve Pernice well.
-
BlenderConvincingly lovely through and through. [#17, p.140]
-
UncutSongwriting of the highest calibre. [Sep 2003, p.104]
-
And to anyone that contends they don't make them like they did anymore: listen to this. They still do.
-
Yours, Mine & Ours is a truly grand record, another in the string of classic releases by Joe Pernice.... The kind of record fans of intelligent pop music played with real emotion should purchase. Immediately.
-
Yours, Mine & Ours strikes the same gorgeous, sad tone as its two predecessors.
