Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 8/16/01, p.102
3.5 stars out of 5 - "...ANCIENT gets the thick, heavy sound they prefer....It's the trimmest album they've made since their 1994 breakthrough, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH LOVE....showing how rock & rollers can aspire to old-school grandiosity..."
Spin - 8/01, pp.134,136
7 out of 10 - "...Every edge has been rounded...with the abrasiveness of a pillow...the songs themselves throb like big guitar solos....balancing noise and beauty with a honed sense of conviction youmight call aesthetic morality..."
Entertainment Weekly - 8/17/01, p.72
"...The songs turn, wearily and sublimely, into mini-epics..." - Rating: A
CMJ - 1/6/03, p.20
Included in CMJ's list of "Top 25 College Radio Albums of All Time"
CMJ - 6/11/01, p.5
"...Gorgeously slouchy pop...spinning an aura that feels both terrifically unfamiliar and as comfortable as that pair of jeans you've had since high school..."
Paste (magazine) - "There are some monster riffs, and the way Martsch roots around for new melodies makes it a really pleasant listen top to bottom."
