While Driedeger and company still have a ways to go in crafting a distinct sound and generally tightening their writing (especially the lyrics), they're well on their way.
-
Under The RadarShots is more of what they do best, a guitarophile's mellow menagerie. [Spring 2008, p.83]
-
FilterWhile Shots never delivers on its promotional material's promise of ushering in an uninhibited Bacchanalis, it doesn't crash either. [Winter 2008, p.96]
-
After the surprising opening salvo, however, Shots clumsily bogs down in its desire to be big and rocking, even though any time Ladyhawk can be bothered to push the tempo.
-
MojoBrevity obviously suits them as the results are both evocative and sublime. [May 2008, p.111]
-
So while Jagjaguwar may well release a below par record in 2008, Shots is not that record.
-
SpinIt's a winning rethink, salvaging the best bits of a musical style that's too easily missed. [Apr 2008, p.100]
-
Shots isn’t a perfect record by any means.... However, by the time the epic closer “Ghost Blues” enters its nasty twin-guitar breakdown, you’ll want to pour yourself another drink and hit Shots’ high points anyway.
