    N.E.W. proves that Death is still ahead of the curve. [No. 120, p.53]

    An album of new material from the abyss: whiplash-fast songs as Spartan in construction and as bracing in attack as their 40-years-young visionary predecessors.

    While the high energy interplay between the players remains solid, their proto-punk edginess is less pronounced. [Apr 2015, p.54]

    The album, though brief, is not only better than it had any right to be, but is close to perfect. Can't wait for the next one.

    While some of N.E.W. feels a little undercooked, there are also fantastic moments. [May 2015, p.71]

    The trio manage to work within the framework of their original sound while pointing out the way ahead. [Apr-May 2015, p.81]

    Despite the grit on N.E.W., all three musicians boast a bonhomie similar to a local band’s open friendliness, making for one of the most approachable punk albums in recent memory.

    Unlike ...For the Whole World to See, N.E.W. does not sound like a lost proto-punk classic; it's just a pretty good rock record made by guys who have been at it for a long time.
