  1. 8.0 |   Uncut

    An amiable aura of semi-stoned, country rock, but it's mighty pretty. Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   The Independent

    The best Meat Puppets album since the halcyon days of Up on the Sun and Mirage

  3. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    The sound of three relatively _cheerful old men continuing to ignore and deride contemporary fashions and faddisms, playing the music they like to play and having a ball doing it

  4. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    Lollipop loses some of its flavour as it passes the halfway mark and drifts into cruise control

  5. 6.5 |   Pitchfork

    Lollipop's as catchy as your average power-pop record, but still hardly as essential as the band's peaks

  6. 6.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Finds writer Curt Kirkwood, as ever, rearranging rock history into new shapes that fit his wonderfully warped vision. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   Blurt

    The band has evolved quite nicely into a country/punk hybrid that relies on more than just tabs of acid for songwriting inspiration

  9. 6.0 |   The Fly

    Their thirteenth album has more than enough nifty moments

  10. 6.0 |   NME

    There's plenty of life in the muckers yet
    Read Review

  11. 5.0 |   Slant Magazine

    While the band maintains a glimmer of their former selves, writing sturdy, comfortable songs with a minimal capacity to surprise, Lollipop still sounds a little tired

  12. 3.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Sounds like a bunch of sad old dudes a hairsbreadth from fulfilling a suicide pact, haplessly playing power-pop songs in vain attempt to escape the inevitable
