    It represents the peak of their career to date, excising the self-indulgent tendencies of before and replacing it with raw, spontaneous, and unfettered power and release that simultaneously addresses the visceral and refined.

    A well crafted album that takes a fascinating journey through the history of American rock music, geography and pharmaceuticals.

    The overall sound feels live, where Van's ear-splitting power chords might drop out briefly during a verse, only to return right when it's time to drive things home.

    Echo Ono is a good slab of rock and roll that wastes no time doing anything other than being genuine.
