    This is a real cracker of an album.

    Effortlessly inventive and still full of invective. [Apr 2012, p.88]

    Longstanding fans of the band will no doubt be able to immediately fall in line with Giants' odd and unique groove. But for the uninitiated, the overall sound seems crude, even amateurish... Give this album a day or two, though, and its 10 songs begin to slip into context.

    It's a solid rather than spectacular effort. [Apr 2012, p.87]

    Featuring some fairly rudimentary drumming, and predictable solos, this is the musical equivalent of 'painting-by-numbers'.
