2010, Merge Records

'After pushing the buzzsaw abandon of their earliest records to its logical extreme on the masterful No Pocky for Kitty, Superchunk begins reinventing itself with their third full-length, On the Mouth. Without sacrificing any of the energy or conviction of past efforts, many of the disc's thirteen songs harness Mac McCaughan's breathless pop-punk melodies into tighter, more demanding contexts - highlights, like the singles "Mower" and "The Question Is How Fast," introduce a new arsenal of shifting rhythms and explosively tense dynamics which reveal unexpectedly limitless possibilities within the classic Superchunk approach.' - All Music Guide
