Something You Said called it 'dirty blues, rock and country, which bursts from the stereo like a bar-room brawl between The Velvet Underground, Mazzy Star and The Jesus and Mary Chain...Loene Carmen has once again proved with the pleasingly lo-fi Rock ‘n’ Roll Tears that she is an intelligent, candid songwriter with a voice so seductive that you'd rip your own heart out and hand it to her if she asked you to.
