What The Critics Had To Say:
"Jacques and Nigel are untamable ranch hands soaring over a sonic landscape
of musical genius and thunderous epiphany. A generally...record."
-Stuart Maconie, Q Magazine, Sept. 97
"An entangled novella of aural despair, 'naTiON sHOck' is merely a reflection
of what Jacques & Nigel see fit to transpose onto our collective dependence."
-David Browne, Entertainment Weekly, Aug. 97
"Jacques and Nigel are willfully perverse, playfully adventurous, and sincerity-crippled.
*** 1/2."
-Anthony DeCurtis, Rolling Stone, Oct. 97
"The WorldShock is a bilateral conceptualized, furthering by genuflection,
yeah."
-Esquire (translated from French edition), June 1997
