The Sword's songs seem to follow the same basic blueprint: Opening-riff trudge, part where Cronise sings about magic, solo, more crunching, more magic, another solo.

Basically, what it comes down to is whether you can get past the thematic and lyrical silliness. If so, Warp Riders is a hell of a trip. If not--and truth be told, it's difficult--wait until The Sword's next album.

UncutThe album is carpeted with generic riffage, shredding and mouldy memories of heavy rock's past. [Oct 2010, p.106]
