    It's cleaner, but still killer. [Oct 2011, p.101]

    On the bright side, at least it isn't as bad as Yuck.

    The flow of tracks leads, however, one by one to the end of the album, all without delivering a truly outstanding, cathartic moment, leaving behind a half-sated feeling.

    there's a little too much here that's predictable or worse still, forgettable. [Sep 2011, p.91]

    A reliance on monotonous tempos and rhythms--and a disappointing lack of melodic variation--further make Endless Now fell curiously lethargic. [Sep 2011, p.112]

    This swift follow-up, which portrays a band still with shoulder-shrugging faux-teenage inarticulacy high on their agenda, amidst a delivery of doped-out Ramones-y monomania which can make this album's 36 minutes feel like an hour.

    The bulk of Endless Now is not really tuneful enough to be pop-punk, nor imaginative enough to be meaningfully leftfield; its happiest effect is to make that debut sound all the more of a treat.

    If we're ripe for an introduction of post-grunge sounds into the retro mélange - and given that the moment in question is now 15 years ago, no doubt we are - then we have here one among the early contenders.

    It's all just a mediocre, rewarming of Nothing Hurts. [Jul 2011, p.81]
