    Classic album. All the charm of early Dr. Dog records is back on Be the Void. If you haven't bought it yet highly recommend the deluxe version. Can't go wrong

    The songs are a lot more varied than the band's last album. This change lets Dr. Dog show off its skills to its ever-growing audience. Good stuff. Hope the band continues to grow, and that the world beyond Philly can experience its greatness.

    The songs and musicianship seem a bit more lively on Be the Void, the seventh LP by good-time rock 'n' roll band Dr. Dog. This seems to be somewhat of an underrated release, but time will fill the void for this Philadelphia-based band.

    Too often, though, these chant-a-long anthems are too damn chirpy for their own good. [May 2012, p.71]

    There's not an obvious departure from their last few releases, but there doesn't need to be as the band has settled comfortably into their sound.

    When they're good, they are glorious and their enthusiasm is infectious, this band thrive when live but perhaps there's a little too much padding filling the, er, void.
