 It's not exactly Rolling Stone or Mojo, but here is a review from The Daily
Oklahoman, Oklahoma City Ok.

" More than 20 years after rising up from down under with the haunting pop
single " The Unguarded Moment " the Church is still gliding at a hushed warp
speed through the darker reaches of musical inner space.
 The Australian - born quartet's latest explorations are chronicled on "
After Everything, Now This " and if the atmospheric, brooding, guitar driven
sound is familiar, it certainly shows no signs of wear.
 Sublimely unconcerned with airwave trends, the founding crew of
bassist-vocalist Steven Kilbey and guitarists Marty Willson-Piper and Peter
Koppes sticks to the course first charted in 1980, yet still manages to
discover new soundscapes. Songs such as the sweeping " Numbers " and the
majestically echoing chords of " The Awful Ache ", colored with strings both
real and synthetic, provide a timelessly beautiful framework for Kilbeys'
sometimes sullen, sometimes yearning, always engaging ruminations.
 Long may the Church continue to run deep in the lush lowlands of their
neo-psychedelic muse. Somehow their grandiose sadness is downright
uplifting.
