Jul 10, 2017Hug of Thunder is not hugely cogent--but equally benefit from the weight of numbers.

Jul 7, 2017Unfortunately, aside from a couple of other stronger tracks (‘Gonna Get Better’ and ‘Towers and Masons’ – one of Brendan Canning’s contributions), the rest of the album isn’t something I have a desire to return to.

Jul 5, 2017For all the broken dreams, what’s impressive about the album is the way that BSS balance tones, textures and themes.

MojoJun 28, 2017As ever, though, their sheer weight in numbers often becomes overbearing. ... Yet, while their palpable urgency is frequently dissipated in the splurge, Hug Of Thunder's peaks are sky-scraping, indeed. [Aug 2017, p.88]

Jun 28, 2017Occasionally the record can lose focus, without a standalone frontman/woman--and while that doesn’t make Hug Of Thunder bad, it can feel disjointed, like listening to a decade-spanning compilation, moving through genres and line-ups with discombobulating results. Still, better to have too much than not enough.
