The opening track, Second Floor is a fantastically knowing melodrama, riding a techno pulse, while the ominous, epic Exterminating Angel pursues its prey in lamplit streets. It's entran cing, hypnotic and inventive". [ [http://www.untiedundone.com/tt99.html The Times, 2 February 1999, The Creatures, Anima Animus review] ]The Sunday Times talked about the album in these terms : "Siouxsie's voice has lost none of its ability to seduce and unsettle. The sound is percussive, defined by Budgie's supple rhythm work. Exterminating Angel is exquisitely menacing, while the sinuous Another Planet grows to a shuddering climax." [ [http://www.untiedundone.com/st99.html The Sunday Times, 14 February 1999, The Creatures, Anima Animus review] ]Uncut gave the note of 4/5 and Chris Roberts wrote : "Sioux's always been at her best as a harsh declaimer, PJ Harvey on steroids, but there are phases where she whispers, breathes, reaches for vulnerability", before concluding "The Creatures have jettisoned comfort and are phoning home from a new end zone. Anima Animus crackles." [ [http://thebansheesandothercreatures.co.uk/animaanimusreviews.htm uncut 1999] anima animus review by Chris Roberts]Track listing
