I think daveoto had a copy of the Classic review........after reading Dave's post I snuck into WH Smiths, read the review and bought a DVD instead.
Also, as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago there's a good review in the current issue of Shindig (which I have purchased) and reads thus:
The Church are a busy lot. Steve Kilbey released a solo album in late 2008 (Painkiller - it's quite good), Marty Wilson(sic)-Piper had one appear in March, and now the band is simultaneously putting out two albums and two EP's. While the other full-length work is an ambient collaboration with sci-fi writer Jaff Vandermeer, Untitled #23 is an honest-to-goodness Church long player.
The songs offered are something long-term fans of the band will feel comfortable with, yet they're just forward reaching enough to convince critical listeners that Kilbey & co still have something vital to offer. The best tracks combine textured psychedelia in the instrumental backing with Kilbey's inpenetrable lyrics and understated vocal delivery - the same recipe that made "Tantalised", "Under The Milky Way" and the rest such effective and memorable songs.
But there's also some driving guitar and pulsating rhythms, and moments of what feel like barely-controlled desperation in Kilbey's vocals, all of this showing the band to have an edge about them, some 29 years after they first formed.

Thank-you Mr Greene. All we need is it released over here and a date or two.....
