2007 REVIEWS FOR COAST TO COAST CARPET OF LOVE / STANDARD GARGOYLE DECISIONS LPS"Drums have a renewed focus, snapping and hissing and almost overwhelming in the final moments of 'The Killers,' whip-cracking in the cowboy strut of 'Pill Gone Girl,' and galloping through the prog-inspired stops and starts 'A Hero Blows the Revolution' [...] There's nothing that doesn't 'rock' about opener 'Our Gaze,' with its insistent guitar line and vocal providing catchy countermelodies." - Pitchfork
"Uniformly excellent [...] Best bets: the lacerating 'The Killers,' which connects the dots between Thin Lizzy and XTC, and the hypnotic folk rock of 'Miles Under the Skin.'" - SPIN
"Pollard fans will surely be pleased with the arrival of Coast to Coast [...] On this album, the Uncle Bob we know and love is back." - PopMatters
"Enjoyable, eminently listenable albums." - Exclaim!
"As the Pollard faithful know, it would be more out of character had he only decided to release one (more) album in ’07." - Aquarium Drunkard
"Coast to Coast Carpet of Love buzzes like skinny-tie new-wave and writhes like a 1970s British prog behemoth, the Knack playing King Crimson. Standard Gargoyle Decisions suggests an introspective bar band in black polo-necks. RP remains the obsessive-compulsive's cult figure of choice." - The Times |
