Reviews
"...CATS AND DOGS is terribly arty, postured, scattered and unfocused, and ultimately quite lovable...", "The album moves even more deeply into rockist turn....The extra musicians lend a new linear propulsion.", 3 1/2 Stars - Very Good - "...Royal Trux's fourth and more accessible LP....like, say, the Stones from an alternate universe.

The riffs are tighter, the vocals snarled and intense.", "...a genuinely unsettling amalgam of edgy rock noises from the past 25 years and the next 10. `Turn Of The Century,' scarred, sad and intensely sluggish, provides some kind of centrepiece and key to the whole thing....a strange, nagging, gripping album..."
