Chicago leaves mixed review for UIC show

We got a few links in the mail from frigidspinster, with some thumbs up and a thumbs down for the show at the sold out Chicago venue a few days back. Greg Kot wrote this review of the show for the Chicago Metromix, an entertainment guide run by the Chicago Tribune, and applauds the show. Opposite that, the Chicago Sun-Times gave the show a cold review, saying the band is stuck in the nineties (wasn't that less than a year ago?) and manages to misquote lyrics along the way. To end on a not so embittered note, previously mentioned Tribune reporter Greg Kot's Q&A with TR is also available on Metromix's website. Thanks again, frigidspinster :)
