    There's enough brittle punch to Blood & Lemonade to freshen even the stuffiest cliche. [Oct 2014, p.93]

    Wall to wall, Blood and Lemonade doesn’t have a weak track, though you do wish that the group got a little more experimental earlier on, rather than towards the end of the disc.

    Blood & Lemonade is a good old-fashioned power-pop record bursting with rock-god guitar riffs, stacked harmonies and chugging tempos. [Oct 2014, p.96]

    Sonically, it's perfect, but American Hi-Fi lack the songwriting genius f Rivers Cuomo or Dave Grohl that would nudge American Hi-Fi from being good to great. [20 Sep 2014, p.53]

    The album feel as though it's fighting with itself, ultimately leaving the record feeling more conflicted than confrontational.

    There’s hope in bouncy standout ‘Carry The Sorrow’, but this album is okay, and not much else.

    A solid album from start to finish, just lacks a catchy song to really give it a push.
