Reception
EW.com ("Entertainment Weekly") states that the music "adds spice with two harmonizing female vocalists sweetly delivering dry, sarcastic lyrics about things like trying to get a lover to leave so you can wake up alone." [ [http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,304406,00.html EW.com] ]
From Allmusic: "...a cleanly produced sequence of bouncy, guitar-based pop songs — and fans of the band know just how good they are at writing bouncy pop songs. The only problem with "The Decline and Fall" is that it's so painfully short." [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:jifrxqthld0e allmusic] ]
