    After 35 minutes filled with one kinetic power-chord to the next with the littlest variation, Typhoons spreads itself too thin.

    Eventually, the unrelenting aggressiveness of Typhoons becomes exhausting; better to ignite a playlist by tossing in one of these potent cherry bombs. [Jun 2021, p.31]

    ‘Typhoons’ occasionally misses the mark: the space created by the pair’s more chilled sonic approach isn’t filled. The songs here may be more melodic, more complex even on paper, but in reality there’s little there to truly grab hold of.

    What’s frustrating is the way in which Typhoons signals the less ambitious intentions of a band surely destined for more, such that its inconsistencies compound and shortcomings shine.

    The production is rock solid, every sound, every groove, every riff is very well crafted. The order of the songs is really good too, Trouble's Coming serves like a preview of the album, Boilermaker has been placed in between Either You Want It and Mad Visions, giving all three songs a better context to fit in, enhancing the tracks.
    Overall: great sounding album, very danceable and enjoyable. Great work from the duo taking a step forward and trying new things.    … Full Review »

And in my opinion it is a great step forward in terms of sound. I especially love that they werent scared to try out something new like the amazing closer that is All We Have Is Now… Full Review »
