No Depression “The whole lot in Smithereens’ world is sort of a film noir shot in psychedelic colors. But this New Jersey band has a talent for creating fresh variations that save you dust or mist from clouding their music. “Smithereens 2011” reaches a peak with the song that opens the album, the sour-tempered yet utterly transporting “Sorry.” Ken Tucker, NPR “Wholly satisfying blast of classic Smithereens songcraft and melodicism, colored with Pat DiNizio’s impassioned vocals, Jim Babjak’s thick-toned, stinging guitar, Dennis Diken’s imaginative, powerful drum work and Severo “The Thrilla” Jornacion’s stylish bass. All of the collection sounds like a return to The Smithereens’ mid-to-past due ’80s glory years, both song and performance-wise.” GOLDMINE MAGAZINE “And 2011’s songs – the songs! – vintage!
