    Cave has managed to move away from the stifling atmosphere and the false captive environment of No More Shall We Part and somehow create a Cave world where The Bad Seeds can indeed stretch, howl, riff, sniff, grind and bark with a freedom unheard on record since 1993's Live Seeds. [Album of the Month, Feb 2003, p.84]

    These songs of faith and endurance work because the singer/guitarist and his band play according to their album's title--with hearts of oak, which refers not to flesh turned stiff, but to spirits that are stout, strong, tall. [Apr 2003, p.112]

    • 73 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score

    • 53 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score

    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wheel reinvention, it ain't, but for insidious, emotionally overblown ear candy, Let Go hits a real sweet spot. [Nov 2002, p.113]
    • Mojo
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Occasionally meanders into lift muzak for people who only ever travel in really cool lifts. [Mar 2003, p.103]

    • 70 Critic Score
    Neither miraculous nor wholly divine, but it does mark Corgan's return to form. [Mar 2003, p.102]

    • 80 Critic Score
    It doesn't matter whether we're spying through his windows when he's so clearly spying through ours, his peculiarly stilted narratives and ageless music fusing into universal images of loneliness. [Feb 2003, p.94]

    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score

    One Bedroom finds the group in a more forthright mood -- just shifting up a gear makes a big difference. [Feb 2003, p.90]

    Characterised by both an ill-advised flirtation with cutting-edge electronics and an overabundance of rather washed-out reggae. [Jun 2003, p.98]
