    A dark heart beats at the core of this album, much as it did with all of the influential bands mentioned in this review, but its creators have proved themselves to be dabber hands at good time rock’n’roll than most of their previous ventures indicated.

    Cheena is phantom shamble, a reanimation of bumps that still make us shake.

    Spend The Night With... offers some impressive diversity without sounding tossed off or smashed together, and for all of the sloppiness it's a surprisingly cohesive album.

    Though the album is somewhat uneven, it proves they've got the potential to give their vintage influences an inspired update.

    Cheena is not trying to blow your mind. In fact, they’re not trying to do much of anything. But that spirit rings true, and it feels less like a pose the longer the album goes on.

    Spend the Night With... feels somewhat empty, and even though that might be the point, Cheena’s music can sometimes feel like a vapid novelty: fun while it lasts but short on ideas that would give you a desire to revisit.

    Spend the Night With is rough around the edges, but it thrives under this approach.

    Cheena offers something different enough to merit a listen, although it’s hard to imagine Spend the Night With... leaving the kind of footprint on the impressionable young artists of tomorrow that the bands and luminaries Cheena so dutifully reference have left on them.
