The actual effect... is closer to a whinier Duran Duran, with even their slapped bass-driven grooves hobbled by the paper-thin production. [Apr 2005, p.124]- Q Magazine

Children moan, accordions groan and Bjork's disembodied voice occasionally growls into earshot. [Sep 2005, p.114]- Q Magazine

So ill-conceived and shoddily executed it could well finish them off altogether. [Feb 2003, p.102]- Q Magazine
