Record CollectorSep 27, 2024It's a hard-hitting statement album that raises the bar the band set with their previous offering to an insanely higher level. The grooves seem deeper, the horns punchier and the hooks catchier. [Oct 2024, p.100]

Sep 27, 2024The group’s previous albums have played second fiddle to their raucous live shows, but these tracks exist for their own sake, providing a glimpse into a new direction that allows for introspection as much as celebration.
