Cats And Dogs

Rolling Stone (9/2/93, p.66) - 3 1/2 Stars - Very Good - "...Royal Trux's fourth and more accessible LP....like, say, the Stones from an alternate universe. Haunting, baffling stuff--and highly recommended..." Uncut (p.104) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "CATS AND DOGS found Royal Trux employing a proper drummer for the first time, allowing their songs to lock into viscous grooves. The riffs are tighter, the vocals snarled and intense." The Wire (p.58) - "[T]he album moves even more deeply into rockist turn....[T]he extra musicians lend a new linear propulsion." Option (9-10/93, p.124) - "...CATS AND DOGS is terribly arty, postured, scattered and unfocused, and ultimately quite lovable..." Melody Maker (7/10/93, p.34) - "...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..." Mojo (Publisher) (p.118) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Rock as a wide open road, a free-roaming caper through space-cake FX inventions..." NME (Magazine) (7/17/93, p.31) - 7 - Very Good - "...As its rhythms and voices slump in and out of sync, CATS AND DOGS casts a sordid spell, and by the time `Turn Of The Century' disappears in a haze of sweet smoke you're hooked...."
