    This noir, dirgey nonsense is an incredible misstep for Casablancas. The only commendable thing about this offering is the spirit of experimentation. It didn't pay off. The result is a dark and directionless sojourn around the sewers of musical inspiration.

    Whilst those who fancy themselves as punk might latch onto the idea of this album, the very core of it is rotten and crumbly. That means that very little remains once the initial screaming and shouting is over. Its basically a brown sloppy mess.

    His artistic sophistication and derring-do has reached a new (and, frankly, unexpected) level of maturity. [No. 115, p.56]

    A triumphant, ridiculous mess. [Dec 2014, p.73]

    For all its ambitious and admirable wilfulness, the sound of Casablancas playing in his sandpit is still an acquired taste. [Nov 2014, p.94]
