Somehow, the Warlocks have found the middle ground between the Raveonettes' Wall of Soundesque attack and the Flaming Lips' oddball fixation on love, death and outer space.
-
Under The RadarA thoroughly realized, if singularly fixated, release. [#10, p.107]
-
No matter how hooky things get, the Warlocks tend to bury each song in the same multi-layered haze of feedback and distortion, as if sheer decibels are the sole element holding everything together.
-
Many of the tracks are begging to be played live in full force, as most of them, to be sure, sound unfulfilled here on CD.
-
Occasionally snoozy but always intoxicating.
-
Seems to be a misguided stab at radio-friendliness.

Q MagazineThe whole never manages to lift off. [Oct 2005, p.120]
-
