LiamFJul 28, 2007This album is a brilliant manifestation of everything the cribs have built towards so far, full of pop sentiments but snarling social commentary and fuzzy yet superbly executed music. I agree with Juan above, where the hell are those reviews, hardly a representative metascore is it If yuo're missing out deserved 8s and 9s?!

philgOct 16, 2007what a fantastic album, album of the year for me. fantastic, agonizing and gripping lyrics with fantastic guitars, all made barely listenable by alex kapranos himself whilst retaining its sense of individuality and rebelliousness. fan.tastic.

EvKDec 21, 2007As far as pop-rock goes, this is easily as good as I've heard all year, this album features some very catchy tunes. My only complaint is that it's a little over-simplistic, not enough depth

JuanHiseJul 25, 2007An amazing Britrock album that is a beholden to the La's as it is to Nirvana.... by the way where are the reviews from NME, Playlouder, and Drowned in Sound that will bring this albums numbers up to their deserved average (deseved If that average is in the 90s)

SteveHDec 31, 2007A great rock and roll record that is certainly in contention for album of 2007 - certainly in the top five. Lots of energy, great tunes and stunning guitar.

With each album, the Cribs have gotten a little sharper and more focused, and nowhere is this clearer than on the brilliantly named Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever, the band's major-label debut.

BlenderSinger-guitarist Ryan and Gary Jarman comport themselves ably through these dozen distortion-cranked, rhapsodically sung bits of power pop. [2007 Aug, p.110]

But all the marquee names in the world wouldn't mean a thing if the Cribs didn't step up in the songwriting department, and the trio answer Kapranos' ready-for-prime-time production with chart-gazing tunes.
