Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "...MURRAY STREET is an essay in coolly assured, sophisticated leftfield rock...full of scintillating tunes....A lightness of touch that renders this their finest album since DAYDREAM NATION.", Ranked #63 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year", "...The strongest rock disc the group has churned out since at least the mid-'90s, and it marks a turnabout from the free-form experimentation of their recent work...", Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Best Albums of 2002in, 6 out of 10- "...They reaffirmed their art-punk cred...this time around, the band square their artier tendencies with their sweet tooth for classic psych-rock, slipping New Yawk punk solos and acid-folk riffs half remembered from old Grateful Dead records...", "...A near perfect, guitar-shaped phoenix...a balance--between formlessness and structure, melody and cacophony..." - Rating: A-, "...A joyful return to their No Wave hardcore rock roots with a vibrating set of muscular songs which glide effortlessly from gooey power pop to full on guitarmageddon meltdown...", Ranked #1 (Album of the Year) on Cmj's "Top 10 of 2002in, "...A disc that interweaves their populist and elitist obsessions with more balance and cohesion than ever...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Achieves that rare thing for any band - real consistency. It's the band's gift to its broken home, a set of good songs, a lesson in reconciliation.", Included in Cmj's List of "Top 25 College Radio Albums of All Time", Ranked #7 on Ew's List of 2002's "Albums of the Year"
