    Deerhoof's revolutionary rumpus feels like a beacon of open-minded light for dark times. [may 2025, p.103]

    One of Deerhoof’s finest albums, something we should have been prepared for, even this far into the rockers’ career.

    Deerhoof are as playful, inventive and delightful as ever. [May 2025, p.63]

    Engaging and enlightening, Noble and Godlike in Ruin is political art of the highest order -- and more proof that Deerhoof will always find something deeply felt to communicate about the state of the world.

    Concise and ambitious, delivering its poisonous punch with characteristic sweetness, the track and the album it concludes are inarguable proof of Deerhoof’s unerring genius.

    Noble and Godlike in Ruin is cluttered and dense, sometimes overwhelmingly so. Everything feels stitched together, almost surgical—like, well, a Frankenstein monster. When the approach works, it’s exciting.

    Unpredictable and stylistically chameleonic, Deerhoof's clamorous noise and freak-out rifferama seems perfectly attuned to current world flux. Still there is joy here too. [Jun 2025, p.80]
