MojoJul 18, 2012The group's fourth album confirms that their default setting is a bit four-square nuts-and-bolts punk pop. [Jun 2012, p.92]
-
May 3, 2012It's all a little too faithful to its template [90's lo-fi slacker rock] to be truly arresting.
-
May 8, 2012It all feels a little weary and, whilst there's clear commitment and execution, the material suddenly sounds oh so dated.
-
Alternative PressMay 2, 2012Bull drags on with minimal memorable hooks and far too much guitar feedback. [Jun 2012, p.76]
-
May 17, 2012Brazen Bull is a cohesive, if lengthy, album that offers only occasional audio reminders of who was behind the board.

May 23, 2012Although this may not be a masterpiece in the repertoire, I can't say that it lacks anything in particular, in fact, the opposite is true. It gives too much. There just became a point where I needed to avert my attention away from the heart-ache.

May 11, 2012While in a way this record sums up everything the Cribs are about, it fails to foreground their most exciting aspects.
-
May 2, 2012Although the Cribs are very good at what they do, the songwriting on the album just feels tired and unfocused.
-
May 7, 2012Everything's turned up to 11 but content is absolute zero. If the Cribs were any more landfill, they'd have seagulls following them around.
