"At least on a par with Shame About Ray, Gram Parsons becomes stronger influence (hence Brass Buttons), and hardcore roots are gone. The Door and Ride With Me are probably their best songs."
"Quite possibly my favorite record of the 90's, wipes the floor with 'Britpop' rivals, see title track, New Decade, and the reflective Life's an Ocean."
"Somehow managed to maintain urgency of Superfuzz, and make a terrific album. Reminds me of Siouxsies Scream, in that its not particularly accessible but oh so rewarding with repeating play."
"Probably is their weakest album but terrific nonetheless, Sleight of Hand is one of their best, also Light Years Nothing As It Seems and Of The Girl."
"My favorite R.E.M. cos of World Leader Pretend and I Remember California, plus some great singles. Seriously overlooked, not unreasonably, cos of Automatic's success."
