    A dense, fervent, riffy drums and electric-guitar driven album. [Nov 2012, p.95]

    Even if there's nothing inherently new about the band's take on rock, and at times they seem too comfortable coasting on trends from the mid-2000s, Delta Spirit manage to convey a likeable sound that is strong and intimate at the same time.

    On Delta Spirit the record, the band capitalizes on its hard-fought inertia by presenting their cleanest and most sonically homogenous record to date.

    The transitional third record by Vasquez's main band pushes their roots-minded songs into bed with electronic toys, where they assume nifty positions.

    When everything's working, the band is a force. Which doesn't happen enough on this oddly-timed eponymous release. [No. 85, p.53]

    Though this overhaul is often passionate and catchy, it's also frustratingly generic and portentous.

    Their third, self-titled, full-length finds the band unable to rise out of their own formulas.

    Delta Spirit of San Diego is back with another album kept in indie rock overtones, which, combined with mature texts and americana themesDelta Spirit of San Diego is back with another album kept in indie rock overtones, which, combined with mature texts and americana themes gives an interesting proposal. In the sea of alternative rock - which is now the whole world flooded - can say that the team can get tangled in each of the seemingly not distinctive song note of freshness.
