    There is a certain sameness in evidence that makes the album more meditaional aid than rip-snorting prescription for maximum engagement. [Jan 2012, p.90]

    • 60 Critic Score
    Isaak, whose singing voice is naturally full and resonant, is most at home with the Presley tunes... but the Lewis and Perkins homages don't quite add up. [Jan 2012, p.91]

    • 80 Critic Score

    It's never just meat and potatoes. It's more like eating bone marrow in a fashionable restaurant - earthy, carnivorous but still beautifully designed and knowingly conceptualized. [Jan 2012, p.88]

    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The overall vibe is: It's a time for extremes, for ear damage, and KJ--ever exemplary in reactivation--deliver 'em in spades. [May 2012, p.83]
    • Mojo
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    What they [Sun Araw & M Geddes Gengras with the Congos] produced is startling and unique. [May 2012, p.89]

    Much of Better Living recalls that time when the ugly end of post-Crass anarcho punk segued into the metallic sounds of grindcore... when melody seemed bourgeois and energy was the most valued commodity. [May 2012, p.92]

    Assured and challenging. Unlikely to convert the uninitiated, it will thrill the Volta Nation. [May 2012, p.92]
    • Mojo
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Draws out the same intense emotional responses as that first album [Lazer Guided Melodies] but in a post 1997 Ladies and Gentleman... way. [May 2012, p.92]

    • 60 Critic Score
    HDBA embrace cyclic faux-Krautrock, robust electronic rhythms, looped vocal phrases and miscellaneous soundtrack atmospheres. [May 2012, p.92]

    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A skittering show-reel of outer-space advert indents that flit from dying hard-drive porn disco to sweetly-warped On-U dub lullabies. [May 2012, p.89]
    • Mojo
    • 78 Metascore

    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Urstan find Roberts'signature whistling-kettle delivery ... framed with guitars, fiddles, drums and brass. A peaty, heathery authenticity pervades - to compelling effect. [May 2012, p.88]

    • 80 Critic Score
    It's a downbeat party, but one with real atmosphere. [May 2012, p.88]
