    The songs don’t have the immediate impact of the band’s heavier work, but it’s nice to see The Sword break from their mold.

    They've taken a long sidestep from Sabbath's alter.... One that sets them up to be able to go literally anywhere from here. [22 Aug 2015, p.52]

    While High Country doesn't always work, it's constantly working toward moving the band forward, which means that were probably only a few albums away from a hair metal makeover.
