Rolling StoneLeo's melodic gifts don't keep up with his lyrics. [22 Mar 2007, p.80]
-
Ted Leo again falls a few hands short of the definitive statement we insist on expecting.
-
An album that’s a little uneven but manages to work more often than not.
-
The songs are flat and unoriginal rock.
-
The heart is here, but the lyrics have him sounding like a man who’s turned healing into a systematic process — a man who’s heard too much kind advice or maybe sat through too much therapy.
-
This is a bloated, overlong rock record that shouldn’t have even considered breaking the 40-minute mark.
