    The Whigs have zeroed in on their strengths and wound up with a rich, layered pop album that suggests a long, interesting future.

    As with most of the band's young oeuvre, there's a sturdiness to Enjoy the Company's booming interstate anthems.

    These songs show a band in its prime-and cast a much wider net of influences, finally shaking that garage band label, bringing in folk, country and some damn fine bar room rock.

    Lyrically naive at times ("Rock and Roll Forever"), guitarist and singer Parker Gispert locks his strum and wail to the chunk-a-funk drums of Julian Dorio to make Whigs rock worth hearing.

    What's missing is just a little more "WTF?" [Sep 2013, p.90]

    Simply put, Enjoy the Company isn't an overly grossly spectacular record; it is just good time rock and roll.

    Enjoy the Company isn't here to tell you anything you haven't already heard, but if you're looking for some hopscotch rock just to keep you company, it can do the job.

    As such, this is largely Southern Rock-lite: it is not brash or brazen--it is uninteresting and tedious.

    "Enjoy the Company" is a album that is sure to get you moving, but that's about it. The music is like all punk music, upbeat and powerful, but"Enjoy the Company" is a album that is sure to get you moving, but that's about it. The music is like all punk music, upbeat and powerful, but since that's all this one is, it falls short. After 3 songs you will start to wonder whether or not its just one really long song. The set up for each time is identical which allows for a good dance or two but then just gets flat out boring. The instrumentals are not anything to get giddy about neither. The Whigs music is meant for singles, not full length albums.… Full Review »
