Feb 4, 2013This classic hard rock production touches every song on IV, and the first half of the record is composed of songs that seem tailored to fit the post-metal sensibilities of the record's sonic texturing.
-
Feb 20, 2013The Bronx IV is enough evidence that these guys show no signs of easing off the aggression accelerator any time soon.
-
Q MagazineFeb 8, 2013Their former high-speed heedlessness has been supplanted with a new awareness of song structure, grown-up texture and non-red-zone pacing. [Mar 2013, p.94]
-
Feb 4, 2013None of the band’s bolshy character is lost on Bronx IV, but they do find new places to go.
-
Feb 4, 2013Matt Caughthran's vocals have never been stronger, more melodic or capable of holding centre stage. Yet coupled with the slicker sheen to the LP (self-made in their new home studio) it has pushed some of their material into territories traditionally inhabited by the totally underwhelming.
-
Feb 5, 2013The Bronx has turned rage and desperation into a perpetual state of being--and (IV) into a monument not just of survival, but also evolution.
-
Feb 7, 2013Unfortunately (and as is the case with their past three albums), the band’s bash-it-out approach loses some steam by the end of the record. But if you’re down for unrelenting rock ‘n roll fraught with the bitterness of adulthood, The Bronx is your band.
-
Feb 4, 2013IV is a wondrous beast.
-
Alternative PressFeb 5, 2013The Bronx (IV) [is] their most infectious record to date. [Mar 2013, p.88]
-
Mar 28, 2013They have returned to (non-mariachi) form and then some.
-
Feb 14, 2013Usually, by the fourth album, bands of the non-willfully-experimental type have grown comfortable with their sound. Yet, the Bronx of IV is not a complacent one, shaking out the cobwebs of inactivity as opposed to settling into a groove.
-
Classic Rock MagazineJun 6, 2013Big? Nope. Clever? Definitely. [Mar 2013, p.98]
-
Feb 4, 2013Songs as bold, honest and passionate as these shouldn’t have any trouble fitting in.
-
Feb 5, 2013Now the group has shed the charro suits and returned to its original sound with 12 serrated hard-core jams about wasted youth and suicide.
-
Kerrang!Feb 11, 2013It all adds up to The Bronx's most accomplished record. [26 Jan 2013, p.54]
-
Apr 10, 2013This LA-based hardcore band turns out their most consistently solid set of songs yet; a dozen tracks of distorted guitars, machine gun drumming and throat-reddening vocals.
-
Feb 4, 2013It all adds up to a solid release that is suited better for the radio than it is among your hardcore collection.
-
Feb 11, 2013IV is a worthy return that shows the Bronx still have those chops.
-
Feb 20, 2013With power chord hooks and a newfound innocence, this is a side of The Bronx you’ve yet to hear.
