Oct 17, 2018You probably wouldn’t have started 2018 predicting that a 50-something bunch of grunge-era survivors would produce one of the most startling, exciting and vital albums of the year, but the sheer strangeness of the times dictates that that’s exactly what’s happened.
-
Oct 1, 2018Digital Garbage is as blunt as it is thoughtful and the songs here truly rip at a time when some seem keen to let civility and common sense rest in peace.
-
Oct 1, 2018Mudhoney have released an astute, politically relevant and commendably fired-up garage punk belter of an LP. Aye, it blindsided me too.
-
Sep 28, 2018With Digital Garage, Mudhoney have provided the noise-escape of the year. The war may never be won, but at least now we’ve got somewhere to hide when it all gets a bit much.
-
Sep 28, 2018Come for the rage on Digital Garbage and stay for the rock. Both feel intense and purifying.
-
MojoSep 25, 2018A venomous, scabrous, often hilarious protest record, full of ramshackle blues, stinging garage-rock and the occasional brawny hardcore pelt. [Oct 2018, p.93]
-
The WireSep 25, 2018Digital Garbage is an honest and oddly selfless document of the time, impressively free from bravado. [Oct 2018, p.59]
-
Sep 25, 2018This may not quite be the best punk rock album about the Trump era you’ll hear in 2018--fellow 50somethings Superchunk already had a decent crack at that title--but it’s certainly one of the year’s most enjoyable bundles of rage. A thoroughly welcome return.
-
Oct 1, 2018Even Arm’s most acidic lyrics are tempered by some of the band’s tidiest performances to date.
-
Oct 4, 2018They simply sound like a better, defter, maybe even snottier version of their younger selves on their 10th album.
-
Sep 27, 2018Digital Garbage may not be the most eloquent expression of our frustrations, but it’s as cathartic and life-affirmingly juvenile as a well-placed middle finger.
-
UncutSep 25, 2018It's business as usual, but a welcome return nonetheless. [Nov 2018, p.32]
-
Classic Rock MagazineSep 25, 2018These crusty old salts still know how to deliver solid, penetrating, life-affirming rock'n'roll. [Oct 2018, p.86]
-
Sep 25, 2018The ridiculousness of the song's lyrical content is the partly the point. Most likely listeners already keyed into Mudhoney's music and style will get it. This remains true for as a whole.
-
Oct 2, 2018If the lyrics are getting all the attention on Digital Garbage, it’s only because the music is exactly what you’d expect. Mudhoney’s sound hasn’t changed much since the early ‘90s. ... Mudhoney are comfortable with themselves to a fault.
-
Kerrang!Sep 26, 2018Their sound remains a punk-informed take on the abandon of '60s garage rock, a well-trodden style which they've nonetheless made their own. It turns out that shitty times make for an intriguing album. [29 Sep 2018, p.55]
-
Q MagazineSep 25, 2018It's as unsanitised as ever, then, and , as such, makes Mudhoney's continued existence a cause for celebration. [Nov 2018, p.111]
