  1. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    The music industry needs more kids who just play.

  2. 8.0 |   Spin

    It's as if for a moment the Lips tried to be Lil Wayne instead of the Troggs, an idea so foolish that it actually suits them perfectly.

  3. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    A raw, psychedelic take on garage rock - sounds like an unnatural coupling of the early Stones and Troggs.

  4. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    An album that howls at the moon, rocks its socks off and collapses in an untidy (but pretty) heap on top of the drumkit.

  5. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    One of the most exciting experiences of the year thus far... This is a wild, wild world of cheap, visceral thrills, illicit substances and activities and right here, right now this is the best place to be.

  6. 7.3 |   Pitchfork

    The results still hold something palpably reckless and earnest, refracting tradition through their own filthy lens.

  7. 7.0 |   NME

    This is a soupy, stoned, distressed-sounding album at odds with the Lips’ image as the world’s premier party band.

  8. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Ten years ago, this Atlanta band's purposefully sloppy ""flower punk"" would have been unjustly confined to basement shows; now it could fit in a Zach Braff film.

  9. 6.0 |   Observer Music Monthly

    Harks back to the days of 1960s garage rock, embracing fuzzy guitars, brevity, cheap production values and lazy, pre-punk sneers.

  10. 6.0 |   Clash

    Black Lips are the gold tooth in a mouth of otherwise rotting teeth; a cheeky brood from with brilliantly stinking breath.

  11. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    Lots of fun, but to come anywhere near appreciating what all the hype is about, you really need to see them live.
