    It's just great. I loved his first two albums, and in this one the only thing he does (and it was a great decision) is experiment more and make it bigger. His voice really expresses and his solos are more expansive than ever. Although it feels like it loses momentum after the first half, after you listen it a few times, it all starts to make sense.

    Missing the shambolic charm of Cronin's earlier work, MCIII nevertheless guarantees bigger stages.

    Though mostly a one-man affair, he covers a lot of ground across the album's 11 tracks. [Jun 2015, p.86]

    In short, if you liked what you heard on MCI and MCII, MCIII is more of the same, only slathered in lush arrangements with a little less of the raw outbursts of his earlier garage-y grunge sound.
