    There is nary a wasted moment on No Control. [No. 120, p.61]

    No Control shows it's a better and more fitting choice for the band than one might expect, and it's arguably their best work to date.

    If Turbo Fruits are trying to shed their partying ways and reputation, No Control undoubtedly represents that conscious effort. However, its execution doesn’t stray too far from the established maturity narrative.

    Overall No Control comes across as a cohesive and original piece of work.

    They've delivered a less disposable, more reflective and yes "mature" set with their latest. [May 2015, p.83]

    The band's hazy rock songs benefit from a nice polish and these are a couple of nice 'n' sleazy summer anthem jams here. [Apr-May 2015, p.89]

    With a good spread of melodies and hooks throughout, even if ideas do fly about like rice paper, it’s a strong development of a record.

    The problem is that by turning down the bar-fight ferocity, by transforming the shouting into singing, by trading out the noise for a larger emphasis on the words, the band not only loses their hypnotic energy, but reveals a severe weakness in their lyrics.

    Turbo Fruits feel weightless, airless. The smooth production only makes the disappointing lack of clarity all the more unfortunate. I don't know who or what this album is for.
