Rated 10/10

4.5/5

- Complex Rock / Smart Rock?
- Classically funky
- Contains some lovely moments of Classical melody and stylistics
- Yes has created a very dreamy record that shakes and shimmies at its loudest and twirls softly at its quietest.
- With a good balance all front to back, they never seem to get too clever for their own good.

5/5

- Folksy ... Immediate presence ... Can imagine them playing Newport
- Relaxed at times, urgent at others ... Good flow
- "Dreamy" production ...
- Slides towards jam band territory at times
- A record that feels like it was made by people who really believed in their art to transgress and transform.

4/5

- There is an urgency to this record. Most palpable in the first half.
- Driving rock infused with punk angst
- Nu-metal adjacent
- This is hard rock that grew up in Hip Hop Culture.
