Robert Pollard Not In My Airforce

3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...In the infectious pop anthem 'Girl Named Captain,' he whips up a roaring arena-rock sound that is reminiscent of Oasis' 'Supersonic.' The bittersweet acoustic ballad 'Quicksilver' could be a lost Badfinger gem, and 'John Strange School' is an acid-soaked mediation recalling Syd Barrett's best work..."
"...maintains his uncanny balance of homey lo-fi ambiance and epic hooksmanship..." - Rating: A-
3 Stars (out of 4) - "...the cosy, rewarding air of a work in progress--strong in McCartneyish melody, rich in surreal innocence, sonically grubby and less attuned to the commercial tune whistled by recent GBV releases....an elusive magic genuinely unique in current pop..."
4 (out of 5) "...There's a winning, casually tossed-off feel to this material..."
7 (out of 10) - "...seemingly an attempt to knock out any old half-finished lo-fi arse in a spare ten minutes...and still be hailed as a genius....it works....proof that our Rob could write pop songs from the coal shed of the gods if he was in a coma..."
