    Faster showcases Fish’s fierceness even during her most vulnerable moments. Much of this is due to her celebratory mood.

    Not just faster, but harder, too. ... Best of the lot is Loud. [Nov 2021, p.75]

    An album that would benefit from more such stripped-down performances. As such, it renders the LP’s title a word of encouragement for Samantha Fish to maintain much this same elemental approach when she records next.

    Faster may piss off blues purists, but that's their problem. Fish uses the genre aptly in these well-crafted songs; she extends their reach to dance with sophisticated modern pop that in turn gleefully meets her brand of unruly rockin' blues.
  5. 60
    The best moments on Faster find a reasonable niche between Fish pushing her boundaries and including enough roots music to keep earlier followers from abandoning ship.
