Industry Reviews
[Their] early work blended bristling-punkish electric guitar work with Merchant's sometimes dreamy, sometimes intense vocal magic...
3 stars out of 5 - [T]hey possessed a capacity to beguile that had listeners convinced, temporarily at least, the world was indeed pastel-hued.
Q (04/01/2004)
10,000 Maniacs' literate folk-pop sounds better now than it did in their late-'80s heyday. - Rating: B+
