Nextdoorland is a more than worthy addition to their catalog, and proves that two decades apart has not diluted their remarkable chemistry.
-
The disc makes so few concessions to current trends that it sounds like something dug up from a time capsule, in the best sense.
-
Q MagazineThis is witty English guitar rock of the highest calibre. [Nov 2002, p.114]
-
Nextdoorland finds the band's old chemistry in full effect, and Hitchcock's songwriting seems re-energized by the presence of his old mates.
-
Even without a surplus of terrific songs to launch the affair into orbit, the band still knows perfectly well how to lock into each other and stay that way.
-
Alternative PressOddly, they sound more now in 2002 than they ever have. [Dec 2002, p.96]
-
The WireThe somewhat dated style and sound of Nextdoorland gives it a charm wholly unaffiliated with any current scene or trend. [#225, p.77]
