"The performances are, across the board, stellar. There's not a note or idea out of place. That's on the band. But the production, by guitar hero Mike Zito and Bott also deserves recognition for such a well-balanced album. Most producers handle this much input by making everything a little quieter than usual, but Zito and Bott have found a way to crank everything, so you hear everyone, without it degenerating into a din. This is an album that would sound great blasted from a car radio from any time within the past 50 years, going forward or backward".
