| | So Much For The Afterglow | The A.V. Club |
 | | As so often happens under the circumstances, critical backlash followed Everclear's recent ascent into multi-platinum success and MTV ubiquitousness. |
 | | It's slick and mechanical, to be sure, and it was made to be blared out of car windows, but the songs possess considerable lyrical depth to go along with their unmistakable, unforgettable hooks. |
 | | So Much For The Afterglow, Everclear's new follow-up, doesn't stake out much new territory: It opens with some nice, Beach Boys-style harmonies, and the riffage is occasionally broken up by a banjo (on "Why I Don't Believe In God") or a funny sample ("Ataraxia"). |
