Cut n' paste for Muses-relevant content: "While Spiritualized's climactic freakout achieves the desired lift-off, it's dwarfed by the disciplinary savagery of Throwing Muses, who remain unique, inimitable and therefore entirely justified in their return to action. Kristin Hersh sings and plays with the swagger of a bluesman, her features contorting as she constructs a furiously aggressive folk rock galvanized by the sturdy yet flexible rhythmic undertow of drummer David Narcizo and bassist Bernard Georges. In terms of intensity and power, The Muses prove quite a match for Sunn O))), playing simultaneously on the ATP stage." —Joseph Stannard
