    Brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall plough a familiar semi-feral blues-punk furrow for the most part, with varying degrees of success, but are best when they depart from the template. [Dec 2012, p.72]

    The magnificence of their live show is lost a little on an album that screams 'organised fun' more than 'spontaneous party', but mostly it's giddy garage rock.

    It's a 90s powerpop album – Weezer without the self-analysis – in all but name. But, like even the best Weezer records, it can get a bit samey as the next bludgeoning riff hoves into view. And like the worst Weezer records, it sounds as if the lyrics were tossed off in five minutes.

    Most of Hypnotic Nights already sounds worn out.

    Hypnotic Nights has the feeling of an album created by Venn diagram, with the outer edges of glam, psychedelia, garage rock and hard rock connecting to create "the ultimate rock album…you know, for kids!"
