    Royal Thunder display a soulful sonic acumen that's as dynamic as it is compelling.

    CVI is soaked in the elixir of resonant, home-spun, rock and roll truths-a grand artistic vision distilled to its most expressive essence.

    This is a solid debut album.

    When Royal Thunder pull things in and keep them snappy, they're heading more towards Rival Sons turf, and that's a good place to be.

    Royal Thunder ultimately sound like no one but themselves.

    Banshee control inherent to CPR pounder "No Good" could use a few more thunderous tempos, but beware Parsonz's hex.

    CVI is a serviceable debut-with remarkable vocal performances-but Royal Thunder sounds caught between what it is (a blues-wielding powerhouse) and what it aspires to be (prog-metal escapism).
