    I can't stop listening to this album. This brief encounter with Women has left me anxious for more. Infectious melodies that meld into small side notes from seemingly infinite aural explorations. The length and structure of the album leave me feeling that they are only getting started, and this is more of a "Come on Pilgrim" than a "Surfer Rosa."

    Women's debut sounds like a grittier joy division, with abstract guitar sounds and stand-out songs like Black Rice, women's debut is certainly a masterpiece. It's sad to see these guys are not together anymore, although their more recent incarnation Viet Cong is just as amazing in so many respects. It's funny how Joy Division became New Order after the death of Ian Curtis.

    Women may not be easy listening, but it is rewarding listening.

    A lock for most promising debut of '08.

    Ultimately there's so many ideas vying for attention on this album that there is not enough room for its songs to breathe. And the discordant styles, some of them on their own of much merit, never truly mesh together.
