    • 80 Critic Score

    • Mojo
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If the likes of 154-era Wire, early Cure and New Order appeal, this is for you. [Oct 2004, p.101]
    • Mojo
    • 56 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Starts promisingly soulful, but soon descends into faux gangster bullshit and lazy, dumb-ass sexism. [Feb 2005, p.100]

    • 80 Critic Score
