Apr 6, 201270Rot Gut, Domestic succeeds because its tone is so dark, its bitter lyrics and gravelly guitars completely at home, as if these tales of the lovelorn and self-hating were produced by Jack White with a healthy injection of Black Keys.
-
Mar 30, 201280In the end, what we have is a record that pushes towards an extremely promising new direction while still managing to maintain the band's adored personality.
-
Mar 21, 201260Even in their best moments, every move feels overly calculated and wraps up so nicely that even what are intended as unpredictable turns are pretty predictable.
-
Mar 21, 201260Overall, this is a very accessible album, but it might not be enough to push anyone from one camp into the other.

Mar 21, 201288Rot Gut, Domestic never sugarcoats its uglier tendencies, and yet the uncompromising--and uncomfortable--nature of the music is oddly compelling.

Apr 10, 201275Margot seems abundant in earnestness, pulling together hooky, shoegaze rifts ("Disease Tobacco Free") with dulcet guitar tunes ("Frank"), Tim Kasher lyricism ("The Devil" and a lonely piano ballad ("Christ"). [No. 86, p.56]

Mar 26, 201280Rot Gut, Domestic's melodies are still strong, but Edward's world-weary tenor to the bedeviled characters and prickly distortion, anxiety rules. [Apr 2012, p.96]
