MojoNot quite magic but an impressive attempt at experimental spell-weaving. [Mar 2004, p.101]
-
Alternative PressChannels the spirits of no wave via clinks and clanks, doomy vocal chants, ominous tribal thumps, abstract guitar scraping and jarring haunted-forrest samples. [Mar 2004, p.110]
-
Ultimately, we’re left wondering: have Liars lost it, or found themselves?
-
Frequently unpleasant, but consistently interesting.
-
UncutLiars' aim is to challenge the listener with their gruelling strangeness. [Apr 2004, p.101]
-
Though some sections are plodding and one-dimensional, others lock into place.
-
An album that’s simultaneously stimulating and crappy.
-
'They Were Wrong, So We Drowned' is a remarkably assured second album, and considerably more audacious than its predecessor, but it's a far from flawless affair.
-
A gigantic step backward.
