The Subways All or Nothing [PA] [Digipak] (2-CD)

3 stars out of 5 -- "These youthful Brits shed some cuteness....Credit producer Butch Vig, too, who brings the trio closer to sonic Nirvana by coaxing out their snarls and then compressing and polishing them to maximum shininess."
4 stars out of 5 -- "The aptly titled 'Shake! Shake!' and the heavier, growling 'Turnaround' displays the group's skill for crafting feverous, driving rock songs that have some of the best guitar riffs this side of the Foo Fighters."
"ALL OR NOTHING is packed ripe with the kind of songs that sit comfortably and unselfconsciously between indie-pop and rock noise. Strong on melody and big on volume..."
3 stars out of 5 -- "[S]o assured are producer Butch Vig's pop touch and Cooper's harmonies that these pop-punk nuggets sound as sunny as anything on their debut."
4 stars out of 5 -- "Buoyed with emotional heft and supernova guitar riffs, their second album is wired around a maturing songcraft and the studio savvy of grunge producer Butch Vig."
Clash (Magazine) (p.123) - "The Subways have channeled every jarring emotion into an altogether more prolific [album]....Shot through with far more direction than their debut..."
