Music Reviews
Editorial Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "THIS IS PIL proves that the taunting weaponry of his voice is still a delight, as he drawls out sylllables like an over-the-top TV villain."
Uncut (p.67) - "[A] compelling listen. It wrestles with contradictions, sets off on seas of despair, spits like a camel and kicks like a mule."
Billboard (p.48) - "The nearly seven-minute 'Lollipop Opera' is equal parts nonsense and brilliance, the greatest evidence that PiL can still be a musical force taking a jackhammer to pop music's boundaries."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.53) - "The songs ride skittering guitars and pulsing, understated grooves....This is far more challenging and seditious than any number of conservative retro-punk copyists."
Q (Magazine) (p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he album abounds with aquatic metaphors, reflections of the state of the nation and even thoughts of final extinction..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.80) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[O]verall, it's simply a joy to hear Lydon in fine voice, getting stuck into thorny matters with his own unique, raw-nerve gusto, backed by a cookin' band."
