    One of GBV's best sequenced albums: "Heaven" lands blow after blow like a pugilist facing an opponent who is clearly out of his weight class. It's a lean and concise record, with muscular riffs and tons of hooks.

    Pollard and the band have no time for distraction on How Do You Spell Heaven - just pure rock fury.

    Business as usual: expansive, often magical, raw rock'n'roll classicism. [Nov 2017, p.103]

    How Do You Spell Heaven channels GBV of old.

    With its simple riff and typically anthemic chorus, the immediately indelible "The Birthday Democrats" amply proves that Pollard's unprecedented creative spark shows no signs of going dark. The rest of How Do You Spell Heaven confirms that notion. [No. 145, p.55]
