  1. 10.0 |   Blurt

    It's a strong candidate for one of the finest full-lengths of 2010. Needless to say, this man is ready for the big time

  2. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    There’s clearly great care to Ted Leo’s craft, but he has that rare knack of making it seem utterly effortless

  8. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Loud and messy may be the hallmarks of hardcore, but showcasing his talents would have made a bigger impact, both musically and politically

  10. 4.0 |   PopMatters
