4 out of 5 - "...In addition to writing stronger songs, the trio seem much more comfortable and focused in the studio....Kyle Fischer's guitar work is as exploratory as ever...everything on BETTER VERSION is top-notch..."
Magnet - 1-2/01, p.104
"...Somewhere between Superchunk's scrappy pop, Sleater-Kinney's tangles-web anthems and Shudder To Think's idiosyncratic, avant-smartypants lyricism....emerging from the pile as both pugilist and poet..."
