    I am ashamed of the Montreal Mirror. The only half decent thing in there is the rant line anyway.

    re: the two italian reviews. The first (Il Cibicida) is critical with respect to technical aspects, i.e. the lack of keyboards, the overuse of wha-wha, the quality of the final mix. The second (Gufetto) is quite positive, a sort of retrospective appraisal of the long history of the band and the athmospheres of their music. As soon as I get some time I will translate it for you.

    fuzzed-out bass and whooshing synths power "Freakshow" — and, like several other songs on the record, both clock in at under 2:30.

    That a bit from the Phoenix one...
    So many mistakes. Even the good critics are god awful nowadays.
    Whooshing synths powers Freakshow? Seriously? WTF.
    And so, several other songs beside Freak and Siren clocks in at under 2:30??
    Really???
    Obviously, the writer did put mucho attention to the listening of the album... wonder what he thought of that Robert Smith duet with Ashlee Simpsons for The Real Snow White?

    And also, is it just me or most of those critics only listen to the first 3 songs and then comment?

    Turturro Christ!!
