    This is the best album yet. Kristin's 7-year-itch has proven that she can still make mind-blowing music that has yet to be equalled.

    Disappointing. I guess not even a genius like KH can release two completely different albums at the same time. Wish she had focused on one or the other. KH and the boys can still let 'er rip, but the songs are not up to KH's usual brilliance. The best thing I can say about this album is that at least it's not Red Heaven.

    I bought this album after hearing a few tracks from other albums. This album and the vocals are too screechy for my liking. There is energy but the music seems to lack melody. Maybe I was just expecting more songs like: Dizzy, Red Shoes, Bright Yellow Gun, Counting Backwards and, Serene. I regret paying for this album.

    Their loudest, noisiest, most immediate album yet -- and it's one of their best.

    Throwing Muses are the counterpart-- or maybe the antidote-- to the driven, enraptured solitude of [Hersh's] solo material; they deliver a release and an excitement that's been missing from her work for years.

    This is an album that's tough to love but impossible to ignore.
