    Anyone craving Smith/Kramer’s piledriving interlocked guitars, or Tyner’s ramalama stoner poetry, will not find them on Heavy Lifting. Get past the branding issue, however, and there’s a great deal to love about this full-blooded, riotous and often deliciously funky record. [Nov 2024, p.82]

    The musical departures are oddly interesting. .... Compellingly underpinned by Thompson's precision thunder, Blind Eye and Can't Be Found are easily the most power-packed cuts. If only he could have elevated the whole album. [Nov 2024, p.100]

    In truth, it’s a mixed bag: Can’t Be Found (featuring Thompson) successfully recalls past glories, while Hit It Hard is deliciously funky. Less welcome is the generic rock yelping of William DuVall on The Edge of the Switchblade. Still, the overt embrace of radical politics remains.
