After well over a dozen albums, still has an impressive knack for grafting memorably anthemic choruses over full-throttle . What's more, their quieter, more melodic moments never dissolve into schmaltzy sentimentality (a mistake made too often by the band's many followers); the has a certain pathos without being corny. The group's chops are in top form on (aided by moonlighting skinsman ), but the quality of the songs is what leaves the strongest impression. ~ Andy Hinds
