MagnetThe pure-pop masterpiece everyone knew McCaughey had in him. [#49, p.84]
-
Entertainment WeeklyThe Minus 5, featuring Peter Buck, rely on a few chords and gentle harmonies, especially on standouts "Got You" and "You Don't Mean It." [3/2/01, p.70]
-
The disc evokes both the heartbreak and the buoyancy of bands like Big Star and Teenage Fanclub.
-
Alternative PressThe best songs... are the ones heavily influened by the Posies' Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer. [#154, p.98]
-
The Minus 5 record really works when it gets close to power pop, such as "Got You," the sprightly "You Don't Mean It" and the wistful "A Thousand Years Away."
