This is one of the most compelling releases yet by one of the new jazz's finest bands to emerge in the 21st century.
-
Bringing in an unknown vocalist, Minneapolis alt-rocker Wendy Lewis, may sound like a risk, but it works exceedingly well.
-
MojoThe band make each piece their own on this, their most satisfying set for years. [Dec 2008, p.102]
-
If this all sounds like a dog’s breakfast of sound, it is--the tunes themselves only occasionally work.
-
There's less jazz improv, but it's a set that's going to find the Bad Plus a lot of new friends, and recover some old ones.
-
UncutHere they continue their mission with bashes at Wilco, Pink Floyd, and a straight-but-great take on Yes' 'Long Distance Runaround.' [Dec 2008, p.81]

In the end, For All I Care isn’t a bad album. It’s just a very unremarkable effort from a band that we’ve grown to expect so much more from.
