    For All My Sisters is a thoroughly enjoyable record even if taken only at face value, but more importantly, it’s a potent reminder of just how crucial The Cribs really are.

    As exciting as the promise of the band going full Albini is, For All My Sisters shows that a cleaned-up Cribs can also be pretty thrilling.

    A classic, if often over-familiar Cribs album then, but the door is open for the forthcoming Steve Albini-produced ‘punk one’ to be the death-or-glory game-changer.

    A couple tracks too long, one or two tracks too bland but overall, it's another album from The Cribs that's more than worth a couple listens.

    Opener Finally Free is the instant crowd pleaser, but slow-burners Diamond Girl and Pink Snow find them in ambitious new album rock territory. [Jun 2015, p.89]

    "Ivory Hand" "Pink Snow" & "Different Angle" are all good songs. But it just seems a bit lackluster and a few too many similar drum beats and"Ivory Hand" "Pink Snow" & "Different Angle" are all good songs. But it just seems a bit lackluster and a few too many similar drum beats and melodies in comparison to other cribs album. I like that the cribs have an exploratory poppy angle to them, however, i believe a more alternative rock stance is their real forte. I don't think this album really compares with their previous e.g. "The New Fellas" & "Men's needs, women's needs, whatever" if i'm honest with you.

    It's alright, nothing to shout about.    … Expand
