'UK punk's dark lord "David Fricke -. Rollingstone "His gnarliest record in over 30 years .... Hugh and Steve: a marriage made in black - MOJO "Thanks to a gloriously raw and vibrant sound, courtesy of the ever-reliable Steve Albini, Cornwell's endearingly sardonic observations on freedom, consumerism and Madonna Louise Ciccone crackle with energy.
