    A solid-but-unspectacular effort. Like most Bob Mould/Sugar albums, this one has two or three legiitmate keepers, and a little bit of filler.

    I enjoy his trademark melodic hooks, but it is still too much like Modulate for my tastes.

    No new fans need apply here, but those who know and love his sound will find that this self-styled career summation, a nod back to late Husker Du with computerized updates, sprouts horns with repeat listens. [Aug 2005, p.112]

    Those who enjoy his new approach will like the album, and those who long for his old days of guitar-driven power-pop will find some highlights that prove no matter how old Mould gets, he still is one of the most brilliant musicians and lyricists ever.
