    'Great American Painting' is a record that is strongest for its instrumentation, featuring The Districts' typical cross-streams of guitars that amply lamenting vocals, intriguing listeners by making reference to social issues within America.

    The good news is they're clearly getting better at this, and there are plenty of compelling places the Districts could go next from this vantage point.

    Contrasting extremes on emotionally literate, indie rock evocations. [Mar 2022, p.90]

    With such important and epic thematic material, the band’s historically climactic builds and stream-of-conscious writing are sorely missed. But the record succeeds when it gets gritty and passionate.
