    They bounce between genres with screwball zeal, but the anti-concept loopiness can be weird fun.

    Big riffs and a honking saxophone pile into swampy blues, moonshine country, rollicking rockabilly, glam racket and sometimes baffling cacophonies--but whenever things get too chaotic, their sharp songwriting pulls them back from the brink.

    Other artists might have engaged in some sort of artistic progression by now, but this is what Black Lips do. They bend to no one's will but their own. [Jul 2017, p.104]

    Creating a 19-track album out of Black Lips’ brand of messy psychedelic punk was always going to be a huge ask. And they have nearly pulled it off.

    The Black Lips still sound like the rulers of an unwholesome party underworld on Satan's Graffiti or God's Art?, but it's hard not to feel like both hosts and guests are running out of steam.

    It’s as capricious and confusing as it sounds, yet the overall result is one of surprising cohesion.
