Summary: Superb
Comment: This is another import release that should have made its way as a US release. The guys have another great release with some hard hitting lyrics and great songs.

Summary: Disappointing.
Comment: Sorry Kelly Jones and boys, I expect a lot better. I think you guys tried too hard to pull the magic twice over from the last great record you made. When I heard the single, I thought "uh-oh" I hope it is not another "You Gotta Go There To Come Back". What happened? However, being a fan and focusing on the Phonics strong merits: Self-titled, Performance & Cocktails, JEEP, Language, Sex, Violence & Other, I am hopeful that your next album will be more thought out. Personally speaking, it sounds as if you re-worked a bunch of b-sides from the last album and failed miserably to achieve the success you as a band are very capable of. Oasis must be laughing their head's off right about now when listening to this!

Summary: A Discouraging Encounter
Comment: I have been following the career of this Welsh band since their humble debut 'Word Gets Around' and what most critics find to be their short-falls I found to be their charm. They embodied a pub-crawling, whiskey-swigging UK charm. And over the years they have come full-arc to the height of their powers in their last release 'Language, Sex, Violence, Other' where they fully commanded the game of hard, gritty, motoric yet melodic rock melded with electronica whilst still retaining their roots of melancholy and intimacy evident since their debut. But in this latest release, rather than moving forward, producing bigger, grander, harder sounds, they seemed to have taken a step back. Instead of progressing down the path of their evolution, they have regressed, making a 6th studio release sound like a sophomore effort from a band still finding their footing. A disappointment, and this is coming from an avid listener.

Summary: Pulled the pin....no explosion!
Comment: So I finally got the new CD from the boy's with great anticipation. I have now gone through it seven eight times and.....well still waiting to get excited. It is a good effort, with some good intentions, but just misses that Stereo's magic. It seems to be somthing left over from Sex and JEEP. I am not going to say I hate, because I don't but I am sad to say that this one does not leap out at you, but when your a fan, as I am, it is still the Stereo's and I will gladly wait for the next one with great anticipation.

Summary: Brilliant
Comment: Another Excellent album from this excellent band. The album is entirely Stereophonics at their best down to the core
