MOG Editorial Review

Like many of the '90s best alt-rock landmarks, Superchunk's No Pocky for Kitty is best listened to with the volume up, and singing along is an unwritten requirement. As you might expect from an album produced by Steve Albini (Pixies, Nirvana), it's full of no-holds barred guitars, intentionally sloppy work, and an all-around big sound, which turned out to be the perfect way to capture Superchunk on record. While there are traces of punk and hardcore on No Pocky for Kitty, the fact that they're filtered through the hopeful but cynical eyes of a group of DIY college rockers makes for listening that's somehow angry and uplifting at the same time.
AMG Review of No Pocky for Kitty

All Music Guide

Where Superchunk's self-titled debut otherwise failed to live up to the brilliance of its anti-anthem centerpiece "Slack Motherfucker," the follow-up No Pocky for Kitty is a complete and fully realized statement of purpose -- opening with the dizzying "Skip Steps 1 & 3," the disc never lets up for a second, crackling with an energy and breathless abandon that underlines the sheer exuberance at the heart of even Mac McCaughan's most superficially bitter songs. Although No Pocky for Kitty successfully channels the sound and spirit of punk's heyday, for all their whiplash guitars and spitfire rhythms Superchunk's songs derive their power not from nihilism and ennui but from optimism and passion -- implicit in McCaughan's lyrics is a belief in creation over destruction, hope over cynicism, and love over hate. Credit too Steve Albini's no-frills recording for the live-wire snap and crackle of standouts like "Seed Toss," "Punch Me Harder," and "Throwing Things" -- for all its earthy simplicity and everyman conviction, No Pocky for Kitty positively soars.
