It's startlingly good, better than an eight-year-layoff album has any right to be.
-
Listening to the record makes you feel like it was 1993 again, in a good way. In a melodic, honest and jangly kind of way. In a way that makes you think "nobody makes records like this anymore".

MojoTender, wise, compassionate and magnanimous, it's a special, special record for anyone who has ever hurt. [Dec 2004, p.114]
-
The Trashcans toil on their songs, and at times, it shows -- but all it takes is the 4:10 melodic blizzard of "All the Dark Horses" to sum up what all that sweat was about: birthing pure bliss.
-
Weightlifting settles into an alternately joyful and reflective string of smart, gentle pop songs that should have fans of The Smiths and/or Crowded House waxing weepily nostalgic.
-
UncutIt's frequently lush and lovely. [Dec 2004, p.150]
-
Rolling StoneChock-full of well-textured pop reveries. [16 Sep 2004, p.80]
