    Though Heavy Lifting isn't quite up to the level of Kramer's 1990s work, it comes close enough that it would have reaffirmed his status as a veteran guitar hero and proto-punk sage, full of hard-won wisdom, good tunes, and an admirable reserve of piss and vinegar.

    The songs that Kramer left behind, however, turn out to be wholly life affirming and full of energy – and what seems at first like a tagged solo project reveals itself to be informed by an intimate understanding of the values that MC5 stood for, with Kramer fanning the embers of the group to keep the Motor City spirit burning. [Nov 2024, p.53]

    Some pretty satisfying final testaments, then, but you also get the impression that Kramer in particular spent his final years having more fun than most septuagenarians can reasonably expect. [Nov 2024, p.72]
