    Their unique gift for sounding at once thoroughly unhinged and ferociously in control is intact. [Aug 2021, p.80]

    It's exceedingly rare for a band to come back after decades away and make something that measures up to what they were doing when they left off. Scientists have done that on Negativity, and that's something to celebrate.

    The malevolent, Stooges-and-Suicide-styled noise of their definitive Blood Red River is less apparent, but attitudinal chops and unpredictability abound. [Sep 2021, p.33]

    The sound is basic, raw, bitingly sarcastic. [Summer 2021, p.82]
