FilterThe band's third self-titled album deviates not an inch from the brutal style that's served them well since 2002. [Holiday 2008, p.92]
-
This album is the sound of just scraping by with a shitty job but not letting it get you down because there’s more than enough beer and guitars to make life worthwhile. Maybe in the next life or maybe in another world, but for right now The Bronx are right now. Welcome back, boys. We missed you.
-
Here they dial down the Black Flag–derived chaos of "The Bronx (I)" and "(II)," unleashing sharper melodies and boogie rhythms that Axl Rose might've admired before getting cornrows.
-
You can't help but feel that had they cut loose more often--as they do on the album's highlight, 'Ship High in Transit'--and put a bit more punk in their rock, they would have made the record they'd like us to believe they did.
-
Certainly the LA punk mob have a free-spirited approach to life – as rebellious and American as the Stooges or Jack Kerouac – and every bit as compelling.
-
Several songs will get your blood pumping; the rest will let you practice your Bronx cheer.
-
UncutFor some of the mercifully brief 33 minutes and 43 seconds of this album there is some merit in the messiness of this L.A. four-piece's palette of punk powerchords and sustained hoarseness. [Jan 2008, p.88]
