Alternative PressA career-arching centerpiece. [Nov 2004, p.154]
-
UrbJust rock out to some really good music. [Jan/Feb 2005, p.96]
-
Even more staunchly pop than their previous records.
-
A mostly "hit" but occasionally "miss" effort that showcases both the band's maturation and its residual shortcomings.
-
Money cannot change vocalist Kathleen Hanna's tendency to sound snotty rather than angry, which frequently leaves you feeling like you're being harangued by Buffy the Vampire Slayer's right-on classmate.

UncutToo much here is self-congratulatory sloganeering. [Nov 2004, p.110]
-
Kathleen Hanna’s girlish yelp grates more than usual, practically bereft of charm, and her bandmates can barely write a functional song much less play one.

BobbyOct 23, 2004More textured, more mature than previous albums. I just think everyone wants another "Deceptacon," and at 34, Hanna's not giving it.

DOct 19, 2004This record is incredibly boring and lifeless, lacking the inspired spontaneity and invention of their earlier releases. A confirmed dud.
