AMG Review of Mind Bomb [Reissue]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

With the addition of former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, The The attempted their most ambitious album yet with Mind Bomb. Instead of the darkly polished dance-pop stylings of Infected, Mind Bomb opens up the music to reveal a slow, winding textured world of sound that celebrates its rough edges instead of hiding them. It's serious, dance-influenced rock of the highest order. [The Sony reissue offers 24-bit digitally remastered sound.]
