    Even though A Place to Bury Strangers have been bringing the noise back to shoegaze and post-punk for years, they're still finding new forms of expression. That they can create a career peak like See Through You two decades after forming makes them all the more inspiring.

    A wholly unsanitised vision, where screeching white noise guitars eclipse thundering beats in a reverb dungeon far from prissy "Health & Safety" regulation. [Apr 2022, p.80]

    As with all five of its predecessors, See Through You is a dish best served whole, as long as one is prepared for some unexpected moments. [Dec 2021 - Feb 2022, p.150]

    After numerous lineup changes, this album feels like Ackerman’s hitting of reset button has finally worked, and the project is continuing down the intriguing path started last year resulting in a hell of a comeback album.

    Listening to it is a wonderfully disconcerting experience, each track swirling and merging into new patterns like a murmuration of starlings. [Apr 2022, p.78]

    You can’t help but feel that See Through You is also an evolution – for all the right reasons. “Crazy-noise-rock” is at its core, but with some interesting curveballs peeking through the onslaught, perhaps the band are approaching their greatest adventure yet.

    If APTBS have fallen off your radar in recent years, then this is the one worth reintroducing yourself to their work.

    It's familiar territory but there's plenty to enjoy being pummelled by here. [Mar 2022, p.23]
