Entertainment WeeklyUnfortunately, the Mooneys' concept of mass appeal... includes embarrassing homages to the glory of rock (and groupies) and a Bic-lighter ballad that's pure Hootie. [20/27 Aug 2004, p.126]
-
FilterSome kind of Californian 5th Dimension/Phil Spector hybrid. All apologies, guys, but it comes off about as genuine as Phil Spector's current legal defense. [#11, p.94]
-
The whole record is wrong. Predictable, slick, soulless, and worst of all, boring, it meets the expectations of everyone who thought the band was foolish for working with the Matrix.
-
To say that the album is over-produced is an understatement; you could bounce a quarter off of most of these songs.
-
The Mooneys are guilty of bringing songs to the album that aren't so much dumb (though they're that too) as they are lazy.
-
UncutThe Mooney Suzuki are NYC's retro-homage to America's spandex pop-metal scene. [Sep 2004, p.98]
-
BlenderThis is rock theater of the most uninspired kind. [Aug 2004, p.136]
