    Group Sounds is as good as anything they've put their name to previously. [#180, p.110]

    Group Sounds may not be astonishingly great, but it mostly rocks with the raw, excellent sound RFTC has come to own.

    After 10 years, RFTC have perfected their mix of muscular guitar riffs and bristling horns; it's the songwriting that's hit a dead end. [3/9/2001, p.82]
