    Bodega have extended their musical palette and tightened their songwriting to produce an album that bristles with energy and intelligence.

    BODEGA’s most vital moments come when they lower their guard down and just let it all out.

    With 'Broken Equipment' BODEGA has transformed from a band to watch to something truly exciting indeed. Any early album of the year contender for those who like their music as sharp as a knife.

    It’s more confident, a little sexier. It also finds the outfit playing mostly the same old tricks as last time, for mixed results.

    It makes for a fine second album from a band that could have easily been nothing more than a one-trick pony.

    It's a tart set but not a sour one - concerns are laid bare and life lessons shared, with whip-smart confidence. [Apr 2022, p.25]

    The album starts off gamely enough towards the same agenda [as 2018's Endless Scroll]. ... Sadly, though, much of the album is given over to high school level observations. [Dec 2021 - Feb 2021, p.151]
