The Breeders All Nerve

4 stars out of 5 -- "On the fifth Breeders album, the songs are all cinematic movement - hiding, escaping, screaming in the meadow, running for the exit."
"Insouciant about serious things, ascetic about frivolities, Deal forces listeners to reconsider assumptions: about length, rhymes, clarity."
"Kelley Deal's primal guitar daubings made ALL NERVE wonderfully more than the sum of its parts."
Paste (magazine) - "'Spacewoman' is touchingly sweet as it effortlessly slips between quiet and crunchy, and 'Walking With A Killer' sets an unnerving story against an arrangement that's spacious and strange, with surf vibes and distortion sitting alongside hints of twang."
Pitchfork (Website) - "ALL NERVE is smoothly confident. The four Breeders have individually and together slashed idiosyncratic paths through pop; on ALL NERVE, they collectively dig into that ideal, with each member playing to their strengths..."
Clash (Magazine) - "'MetaGoth' is all rumbling bass and treble-saturated guitars, The Breeders applying an intense sense of focus to their sound."
