 The title may therefore be read (but not spoken) as both "Beatin' Hearts" and "Beaten Hearts".The album has been praised by rock critics (see below), and described by non-professional writers as everything from "basic stupid rock and roll waste of time" to "a unique brand of psychedelic rock – post-punk, often minimalistic garage rock psychedelia born on the art side of tracks.The album seemed to me no less than a work of a genius – it is so sophisticated, unpretentious, utterly individual and it belongs in the higher spheres than [sic] any pop music."
