  A surprisingly focused set of songs that highlights the strengths of the current lineup. The album balances concise pop craftsmanship with occasional bursts of experimentation. Pollard sounds fully engaged throughout, delivering one memorable melody after another. It may not reinvent the band's formula, but it executes it exceptionally well.

  I listened to a new GbV single and realized that I still had to catch up with the last (of 3, I think!) GbV album from last year. It's excellent as always. I'm a little embarrassed that I never had this thought before, but listening this time (specifically the track "Love Set" for some reason) made me realize how deeply indebted to The Who Pollard is. I looked up interviews and, sure enough, Pollard names them as an influence.
