Perhaps referring to the staid forum known as contemporary "unplugged music," or their own aging arteries,
Unclogged successfully reprises
X's finest work in an electro-acoustic live set. No worse for the wear,
John Doe and
Exene Cervenka are in perfect voice, while
Tony Gilkyson and
D.J. Bonebrake play the songs they played a million times with the renewed spirit of a band that can finally relax and rest on its laurels. If there was ever anything to prove -- that
X was a supreme live band or that
Doe and
Cervenka were two of the most talented songwriters to come out of punk -- this is the evidence. ~ Denise Sullivan
