  1. This collection of warmed-over power pop wouldn't have shown up on anyone's radar if it weren't for Wilson's day job as Weezer's drummer.

    Makes you smile without even really listening because the whole sound is such a cheering mix of grunt and grin. [May 2004, p.104]
  3. The Special Goodness' has crafted a dozen punk and pop-influenced songs that the modern rock hoi polloi will have a hard time leaving alone.
  4. A pretty good modern rock record that will make Weezer fans happy.
  5. Entertainment Weekly

    Alas, those wondering where Weezer would be without Cuomo's most delicious hooks will learn that, too. [23/30 Jan 2004, p.99]

    Possessing neither Cuomo's melodic nous nor the self-absorbed misanthropy that makes Weezer's best work so compelling, Wilson's power-pop never exceeds cynical expectations. [Apr 2004, p.120]
  7. An indie version of Weezer's arena emo.
  8. Spin
    75
    The tunes are sub-Weez, but the vibe is right. [Mar 2004, p.96]
