"It's a spirited distillation of three decades of leftfield rock tactics that has its pretty moments and its fearsome ones. In the former camp are the fuzz-blasted swooning of Please Don't Go Away, Country Song's sunset twang and heavy shimmer, and Candy, which could be an outtake from the Replacements' masterpiece, Tim. On the meaner side, there's Cube, which dives enthusiastically into ugly, thumping, noise-rock, and Animal's goofball blues explosion".
