Sep 16, 2024The Jesus Lizard are back with a bang, and this is a resurrection that we all deserve.
-
Sep 11, 2024In short; ‘Rack’ is everything you could want from a new The Jesus Lizard record, with some extra musical chops and lyrical smarts thrown in. This great band might be growing old, but they’ve not lost a speck of their singular crazed brilliance.

Sep 12, 2024Rack is what fans have waited a long time for. .... It’s partly completing unfinished business, returning to the high-water mark of those Touch and Go days. And it’s partly because, together, they make an unholy racket that makes them feel good.

MojoSep 10, 2024Following 2009’s ‘re-enactment’ shows, here, finally, is this fabulous, full-blooded seventh LP. Aficionados will be punching the air within the first minute of opener Hide & Seek: it’s all there. [Oct 2024, p.82]

Sep 13, 2024The back half of the record is where the band really catch fire, though, ripping through a slew of high-octane rockers from “Falling Down” through “Is That Your Hand?” The only real miss is “Armistice Day,” a tedious trudge of doom-rock that sticks out from the rest of the pack.

Sep 10, 2024For the faithful, Rack is another thrilling chapter of one of the most significant noise bands ever to do it. For the uninitiated, it will be instantly apparent why so many groups claim them as an influence.

UncutSep 10, 2024While a little lacking in variation, it’s a most welcome return for a band who have come out of retirement but still know how to land a punch. [Sep 2024, p.36]
