UncutMar 4, 2019The best moments of Inferno are tender hymns to everyday pleasures. [Apr 2019, p.29]
-
Mar 4, 2019Inferno is among Forster's strongest collections. Its songs are delivered with wry wit, subtle yet biting insight, and unpretentious poetic language. Combined with elegant, understated melodies that intuit rather than insist, this is a set of tunes that affirms life with earthy wisdom, vulnerability, and steely determination.
-
Mar 4, 2019Inferno, then, may not afford Robert Forster the mainstream acceptance that’s eluded him for so long, but it gets him back in the game and proves he’s recaptured the magic he once needed to keep ahead of his best buddy in his metaphorical rear-view mirror.
-
Mar 4, 2019Where Songs to Play featured a drier sound and coiled, latent energy, Inferno, produced by Victor Van Vugt, is lush and tropical, and it moves at a slightly more languid pace.
-
Mar 4, 2019The long view is serene, but it boils with nattering subtext. Robert Forster makes lean, minimal, elliptical songs about the struggle against time and self. He makes it look easy, but buried contradictions suggest that it’s not.

Q MagazineMar 12, 2019Forster's songwriting is crisply understated, his salt-and-pepper voice perfect for the succulent storytelling for No Fame and Life Has Turned A Page. [May 2019, p.111]
-
Mar 4, 2019Inferno passes quickly and a little unevenly, but the core of the album burns hot.
