Alternative PressApr 12, 2013Thermals don't aim to shock. They don't aim to please, either, and their dynamic punk spirit is as smart and infectious as when they began in 2002. [May 2013, p.92]
-
Apr 16, 2013Desperate Ground is easily the best Thermals record since The Body, The Blood, The Machine.
-
Apr 16, 2013Suffice to say that this 26-minute concept album is confirmation of the power and enduring brilliance of the Thermals as they show no signs of slowing up--no signs of any erosion in their quality--and for that, we should be thankful.
-
Apr 12, 2013The Thermals are still a band in awkward transition resulting in a record that is reliably good by their own decent standards, but which fails to fulfil its very apparent potential to be great.
-
Apr 15, 2013Newer fans might not be totally impressed here but existing ones yearning for Harris’ observations should be satisfied otherwise.
-
Apr 17, 2013It’s a loud and brash album, but too often, that’s all it is.
-
Apr 16, 2013Desperate Ground is a record that really wants to convey having something to say and Harris has run out of ways to say that something.
