It also received five stars in Uncut. Personally, while I like it, and it has 
some great moments, I would think four stars at best.  I also noticed Uncut 
gave the Yeah Yeah Yeahs five stars, which I also thought was quite a 
stretch. Part of the contining hype of the "New Wave of Garage Rock" or 
whatever it's officially called, I guess.  

I like the style of music (although where are the props to Jon Spencer?), but 
the hype is a bit much, especially in the UK press!
