Amazon.co.uk Review
Stereophonics' fifth album will inevitably provide more material for the band's critics, if only for the fact its title has clearly been rather lazily inspired from the back of a rental video case. The music within, however, is anything but laid-back: the employment of Argentinean drummer Javier Weyler, who replaces founding member Stuart Cable, sees the band venturing further along the hard-rock path that spawned previous denim-and-leather-clad tracks like "Moviestar". The first three tracks find frontman Kelly Jones is in downbeat mood, his vocals drawled and insouciant, and his lyrics distinctly sour--take the raging "Doorman", where he rails against some faceless bouncer with surprising and rather paranoid ferocity: "You like nothing more than to break my face/ You like to throw me out on the street!". Things sweeten towards the album's middle, providing two of the album's stand-out tracks: the chiming, electronic-tinged "Dakota" is a light, buoyant anthem that deserves to be a hit, while "Rewind" is a reflective moment that pricks memories of mid-period U2. But on the whole, Language. Sex. Violence. Other? isn't an album out to win new fans - it's an album that caters to the Stereophonics' rock faithful, and it's them who'll really dig it. --Louis Pattison

Language. Sex. Violence. Other? Review April 2, 2010
B
Very good album, some brilliant songs like Devil and Rewind give it a proper rock feel and it has a heavier feel than Just Enough Education to Perform. With 3 great albums before this it's hard to keep up the amazing music. But they did. Very enjoyable.
 Stereophonics rocks my socks! August 27, 2008
Ms. Rebecca P. Oliver (Yorkshire, England.)
This is by-far my favourite stereophonics album:
Superman: This is my all time favourite, it kick starts the album with a really catchy tune, the words though such as "Superman on an aeroplane sitting next to louis lane" is not anything i can relate to lol, but i just love Kelly's vocals it shows the strength his voice can go.
Doorman: Now this song i wasnt struck on when i first got the album, i thought it was a little too heavy with the rock n roll, but after playing the album over and over it has grown on me - i love the chorus where the guitar breaks down and Kelly's voice takes over, this song has got attitude!
Brother: i dont like the verses to this song but i love the chorus another rocky song.
Devil: Another all time favourite of mine!!! Love the verses, the voice, and the chorus! The video to it was very good too!
Dakota: i think everyone likes this song, it got number one, it reminds me of summer (don't know why)
Rewind: A lovely slow song by Kelly, love how his voice starts, Then becomes more husky during the chorus! A nice drum beat in this song.
Pedalpusher: Another great song, very catchy.
Girl: I'm not really struck on this track, it hasn't caught onto me yet.
Lolita: This is an ok song, like the verses but the chorus can be a bit repitive.
Deadhead: I like this song how it starts then kicks in with the guitars - another great rock song!
Feel: Another song that i'm not struck on - perhaps cos it is the slowest one on the track, but i do like Kelly's voice towards the end!
If you are a fan of stereophonics you will love this album its different to their other albums as i think its become more rocky, i saw them live on this tour and it was even better live!
 Bottom of the pile October 13, 2007
Mr. S. A. Perrin (Cornwall)
I absolutely love the Phonics, but not this album. Described by many critics as a return to form after the turgid effort You Gotta Go There To Come Back. Far from it! All albums before Language. Sex. Violence. Other? are solid classics, never far from my stereo. This album though i find virtually unlistenable. Its just a lazy mechanical chugg along. Dakota being the one exception. A song good enough to pull the wool over the critics eyes. P.s. You Gotta Go There... is my favourite Phonics album.
 extremely poor effort September 24, 2007

I have been a massive Stereophonics fan for many years, and maintain that Word Gets Around and Performance and Cocktails are the band at their very best.
This new sound is awful, it seems like an extremely poor attempt to regain their rock edge after the fairly toned down JEEP and You Gotta Go There To Come Back albums. The guitar riffs are very boring and the distortion makes every song sound the same. Also, the lyrics on this album are so poor, with lines such as 'suck my banana, suck it with cream'...give me a break!
I can only hope their next album is a vast improvement!...do yourself a favour - keep your wallet in your pocket!
only Stereophonics album Ive ever truly liked....... July 19, 2006

Although I've never thought of the welsh radio-friendly nice guys the Stereophonics as truly that dull (US 'rock' bands such as Creed *shudder* take up that special spot), previous Kelly Jones albums for me have never truly inspired, bar the odd track or two (ie some of their more interesting singles, Mr Writer). This album is different to before, but its definately one that's going to split the hardcore fans down the middle because of it, as the material is alot harder and more downbeat than ever - yes, read: more passionate. Tracks such as Superman and Deadhead (one of the best on the album) even lend towards a U2 'Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me' era, or even Marilyn Manson-esque mood, with all distorted guitars and modified vocals. Thats not to say that all there is here is just pure attitude - songs such as the retro '80s electro rock sounding Dakota and Rewind give a nice reflective balance to this, making up a very solid and worthwhile album.
