Overproduced, under-written, swaggering nonsense.
-
The real problem, however, is that the Stooges' tracks cast the rest of the album in an unflattering light.
-
MagnetPop uses the strengths and weaknesses of his many guests to differing--and sometimes distracting--effect. [#61, p.88]

This reviewer wishes he could tell you that Skull Ring is as good as his best past highlights--but it just ain't.
-
Unfortunately, Pop puts the head-banging on autopilot with his longtime touring band, the Trolls, to fill out this overlong seventeen-track album.
-
That's the problem with Skull Ring: It's the work of an artist who should be looking within himself to create a modern-may masterpiece, rather than trying to catch a spark from either his chart-topping successors or the band he once fronted so triumphantly. Both acts, in their way, give a whiff of desperation.
