    Whitmore pulls off a wonderful feat with Radium Death, creating a record that reads like classic Whitmore, but sounds like something gloriously new.

    Whitmore might only occasionally let that rock ‘n’ roll animal out from time to time, but that scarcity--coupled with excellent pacing--is exactly what makes it so exciting.

    Radium Death finds Whitmore at his songwriting and singing best. That said, his successful indulgence in rock & roll's various forms makes one wish he had just put the entire album on stun.

    As evidenced by the rabid tones of Radium Death, his eighth album and perhaps his most demonstrative, Whitmore is both resolute and resilient.

    Mostly these dry, derivative, rather dreary songs of endeavour are a hard slog. [Jun 2015, p.84]
