    Want Two
    Where Want One emphasized his ability to soar, Want Two drowns him in costumes; his range actually sounds restricted when you hear the same droopy-lidded croon against such varying backdrops.

    White People
    The songs are sprightly but not riveting, the beats competent but not galvanizing.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Frank Black Francis
    Unfortunately, disc two’s cache of amorphous, New Age-y, re-recorded Pixies standards falls flat.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    New Danger
    Unfortunately, irrational moments like “The Rape Over” make you question the entire 17-track outing.

    Nancy Sinatra
    She's still got class and sass to spare, but among so many collaborators, Sinatra sounds too malleable and impersonal. [#13, p.111]

    Antics
    These songs feel heavy and significant enough--due to dynamic production and hooky choruses--even if we don’t know exactly what they mean.

    Night On Fire
    Night on Fire is going to need a gifted remixer to transform it into the dance-floor-packer it aspires to be.

    I Dreamed We Fell Apart
    Campbell's particular sense of catchy pop melody is a nightlight in the darkness. [#14, p.111]

    Green Imagination
    It's surely a treat for fans of Olivia Tremor Control. But while interesting in its own way, the album is an inessential psychedelic-pop diversion for most everyone else.

    Forget Tomorrow
    Wander[s] into engagingly curious sonic territory. [#13, p.125]
