Sep 13, 2017Great sounding and mature album from Bugg. Blissfull songs of artistic merit, despite critical attacks at Bugg for trying different musical approaches. The pretension of critics should never dissuade you from discovering how good this music is.
-
Sep 21, 2017The album never comes off as a slavish museum piece. It feels instead as if they somehow rediscovered this sound, like an old coat picked out of the attic that looks as perfect with a modern ensemble as it did in its own heyday.
-
Sep 5, 2017Though the faster songs are largely throwaway, Bugg is inching closer to a sound that is both familiar and very much his own.

Sep 1, 2017All in all, the album is unremarkable, showing only rare flashes of lyrical prowess, and melodically unadventurous. Bugg fails to push boundaries and flounders outside his recent comfort zone, resulting in a record that fails to impress, delivered without vigour.
