	allmusic ((( Action Pact > Overview )))
		Action Pact expands upon Sloan's muscular leanings, due primarily to the band's decision to hire a producer for the first time in its history.
		Nonetheless, Action Pact is a streamlined album, recorded with minimal overdubs (read no keyboards), which opens in the classic Sloan one-two punch with "Gimme That" and "Live On" by songwriters Chris Murphy and Patrick Pentland respectively.
		Action Pact is another step ahead for Sloan, which is an achievement they should be proud of considering the superb quality they've shown for the better part of a decade.

	Sloan: Action Pact - PopMatters Music Review
		Action Pact is riff-heavy, with rhythm guitars constantly dueling it out with the beat against the backdrop of steady bass.
		What most distinguishes Action Pact from its predecessors is that, while bassist Chris Murphy and guitarists Patrick Pentland and Jay Ferguson take turns on songwriting and corresponding lead vocal duties (drummer Andrew Scott took a vacation from these duties to raise a newborn), the album sounds remarkably consistent from beginning to end.
		Action Pact marks a departure for Sloan both in producer [not their good friend Brenndan McGuire] and production: on this album, individual sounds and instruments do enjoy neither sonic distinction nor clarity.

	EU defers action on stability pact reform
		But the principal issue before the meeting is the fate of the Stability and Growth Pact, which has in effect been frozen for a year since ministers backed away from taking sanctions against France and Germany for their failure to curb their public deficits.
		The 1997 pact requires eurozone members to hold their annual public deficits to less than three percent of gross domestic product, a threshold France, Germany and several other countries have failed to honor.
		Ministers on Tuesday discussed reforms to the pact put forward by the EU executive commission, notably a definition of the exceptional circumstances under which countries could be allowed to breach provisions of the pact.

		"Action Pact," Sloan's seventh studio album, weds the divergent pop-obsessed and hard rock personalities of Sloan into a blissful 12-song, 39-minute pop rock record.

	Sloan: Action Pact Aversion.com Review
		After 13 years as a band, Action Pact, its seventh full-length, essentially does everything the trio’s done since Navy Blues (1998, Murder Records), namely busting up Beatlesque power pop with dashes of arena-ready mid-’70s rock and a touch of the indie-band spirit.
		For anyone reared on rock radio, Action Pact is a pretty schnazzy record, as Sloan’s obviously done its homework and makes no bones about proudly placing its influences on its sleeve.
		On Action Pact, more than any other Sloan disc, the band isn’t laying itself on the line as much as perfecting its blend of rock masters.

	PBSTL Review - Action Pact (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		While Action Pact is missing the lighter and more experimental pop that created the nearly schizophrenic dichotomy of their last release, 2001’s Pretty Together, what you do get is all rock, all the time.
		Action Pact’s garage-y opener, “Gimme That,” instantly ignites with explosive drums and perfect (but not too perfect) harmonies—before reaching the second verse, you already know it’s the hookiest rock song you’ll hear this year.
		But Action Pact’s extras feel too much like filler after the expert machine-gun sequence of songs that precedes them.

	Sloan
		The guys were in sunny LA for a couple of months recording their new album, ACTION PACT.
		Sloan's new album, Action Pact, is very much a Sloan record - in that it sounds nothing like its predecessor.
		You've heard Pretty Together - Action Pact is Totally Together, a record that reins in the open-ended experimentation of past albums into a tightly wound, fiercely focused, breathlessly relentless set of riff-o-ramic rock 'n' roll wherein the band's inner Paul Stanley and Paul McCartney come together in perfect harmony.

	Action Pact - THE DAILY BRUIN ONLINE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Whether it was divestment from South Africa's apartheid regime or the reinstatement of affirmative action, students at UCLA have fought for things they believe in — with or without immediate results.
		In 1995, the year the regents adopted SP-1 and SP-2 repealing the use of affirmative action in UC admissions and hiring, mostly the same student groups formed the Affirmative Action Coalition.
		Both Lane and Nagao said the impact of the regents' actions is not limited to students and faculty directly affected by affirmative action — but to everyone on campus.

	Sloan: Action Pact: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		They're always five or six feet from greatness, which is probably close enough for all but those with preternatural musicality or, alternatively, blindness.
		Vastly unsurprisingly, Action Pact does nothing to develop or modify the plan of attack.
		There has been a proposition put forth for some years now that Sloan is gradually and achingly achieving some sort of mighty unity between their four members/songwriters, as if they were unwilling participants in some evil incantation.

	eye - Shake some action - 08.14.03
		It's a moment of rhetorical reflection, perhaps, but if Murphy really is looking for a grounding force, he may consider hiring one: it seems to have worked for Sloan on their seventh and latest disc,Action Pact (in stores Aug. 19).
		Ferguson best captures Action Pact's underlying bittersweet tone with "False Alarm" and album-closer "Fade Away," the latter a fitting, if carefully shrouded, ode to his band's longevity.
		With "The Rest of My Life" already top 10 on radio, and label BMG looking to make good on their Action Pact investment, the bands seem more assured of "next time" than usual.

	Space Junk Review: Sloan - Action Pact
		Action Pact is, for the most part, a middle of the road rock record.
		The album's best songs are probably the power pop moments of "False Alarm" (an unexpected one from Jay Ferguson) and "I Was Wrong" (Patrick's always got a few of these up his sleeve), which sound more like Guided By Voices or some other vaguely familiar indie rock band than Sloan.
		Overall, I can't say that Action Pact is bad but I feel completely indifferent towards it.

	Action Pact
		Not to say that the album isnt strong, obviously Sloan is a great band, especially live, but I feel like they are capable of so much more.
		Action pact is just that, but it lacks the quality songwriting that came before in the land of Sloan.
		Perhaps its time to reinstate the songwriting talents of Andrew, who did not write any of the songs on this album.

	Review: Sloan \| Action Pact (Vik Recordings/BMG) by Matt Dornan
		Similarities end there, however; ‘Action Pact’ is no return to the Sloan of old, MBV-meets-grunge template.
		Instead embellishment is kept to a minimum and the upbeat, guitar-heavy songs come to the fore, exemplified by the opening brace of Gimme That and Live On.
		Despite all these potential shortcomings, ‘Action Pact’ boasts so many highlights that its place among the fans’ favourites seems secure.

	AllRefer.com - Romania - Evolution of Military Doctrine \| Romanian Information Resource
		In the wake of the Warsaw Pact action against Czechoslovakia in 1968, Ceausescu deviated from standard Warsaw Pact doctrine and promulgated a distinct national military doctrine for Romania.
		Known as "War of the Entire People" (Lupta Intregului Popor), this doctrine was largely a reaction to the failure of Czechoslovakia to resist the Soviet-led invasion.
		Although left unstated, in the context of the time, the clearest threat was a Soviet or Warsaw Pact intervention in Romania similar to what occurred in Czechoslovakia in 1968.

		Amazon Review - Action Pact, Sloan CD...but still a lot better than other rock/power pop albums around.
		But there's nothing from Andrew Scott, who has supplied some of the strongest (and more piano-driven, art-rock) tracks on previous Sloan releases, and I think that hurts Action Pact.
		Personally, I think that wearing the Beatles on their sleeves was a better fit.
