HIGH FIVES FOR THE LONGEST MEOW:

“On winking tearjerker 'Demon Valley,' it's hard to tell what's sadder: the lyrics or the fact that the Replacements stopped writing songs this good when they grew up. ****.” – SPIN

"The songs that result are solid rock, but their grand arrangements and Silverstein-like wit belie a certain sadness hidden amidst the craftmanship." – FADER

"From lushly orchestrated ballads to feedback-drenched psychedelic throwdowns, there's a richness running through each song.” – ESQUIRE

"A cathartic thrill ride." -- MOTHER JONES
