A truly awesome album. Coil is a must for any self respecting muso. Toad are amongst one of the greatest underrated bands of all time. Don't let this pass you by.

Critic's Review

3.0 out of 5 stars Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
Toad the Wet Sprocket illustrate that their ability to craft gentle, alternative folk-rock in the vein of R.E.M. continus to grow on Coil, a marginally darker record than the previous Dulcinea. Although the album is a little more somber, it is far from haunting, since Toad's talent is for pleasant, lightly melodic, acoustic pop, and Coil is no different from the rest of their catalog in that respect. In fact, it offers little new, but Toad is more reliable than predictable, since the record is quite well crafted. While it won't win the group any new fans, it's a solid effort that will certainly please fans.
