    Here the irresistible tag masks some solid riff-heavy whoopee. [Dec 2014, p.107]

    Now that Barrett’s had a solid touring duo together for awhile, and they’ve got a couple albums under their studded leather belt, the duo (Len Clark on skins) has that feeling of an act at its third album phase: assured, strong, but teetering on a decision to leave its comfort zone or not.

    Ultimately, while Bass Drum of Death's reach never exceeds their grasp--there's no MC5-style ersatz free jazz, let alone a guitar solo to be found here--Rip This nonetheless grabs your ears like a drunken biker in a bar fight, letting go long enough for you to pick yourself off the floor just in time to get pummeled again.

    Ultimately, though, Rip This prevails through bloody-minded ear battering.
