Mar 29, 2013In other words, they haven’t lost a step as a band.
-
Jun 4, 2013[Vanishing Point is] raw and unrefined, it has as much energy and attitude as any of their previous albums.
-
Apr 10, 2013The guitars still crunch as hard as ever, and Dan Peters’ drumming has that distinct set of accents that keep the anticipation high.
-
MojoApr 9, 2013Vanishing Point might be the best of this bunch, the group's B-movie R&B leaner and lairier than ever. [May 2013, p.86]
-
Q MagazineApr 9, 2013[They sound] pissed off, over-amped, just the right side of sloppy, shorn of the brass grafted into recent outings--i.e. exactly like themselves. [May 2013, p.106]
-
Apr 5, 2013While it’s very much business as usual--groove-led-Stooges-acid-pop with added screaming--it sounds so gloriously Mudhoney it offers a thrill akin to Popping Candy fizzing in My Little Pony blood.
-
Apr 2, 2013Putting the fun in grunge since 1988, Mudhoney drink from the familiar well of Iggy on their ninth album with outrageously enjoyable results.
-
Mar 29, 2013Vanishing Point proves the quartet is still a thrilling proposition, in love with the simplicity of mayhem and volume.
-
UncutMar 29, 2013Vanishing Point is a riot of dirty--yet never cluttered--Detroit riffs and Mark Arm's laconically enrage vocals. [May 2013, p.74]
-
Mar 29, 2013A Mudhoney album through and through: no outright surprises sonically, but beneath the roar it's hard not to admire how their perennial piss-takes are subtly deepening and how their saturated superfuzz always sounds so good.
-
Mar 29, 2013The reality that Vanishing Point is such a vibrant and quintessential Mudhoney album makes it a real triumph.
-
Apr 3, 2013Vanishing Point is both an anachronism and, if you’re on Mudhoney’s wavelength, a hilarious bulwark against everything that’s annoyingly ephemeral about contemporary underground culture.
-
Classic Rock MagazineJun 25, 2013This is punk rock at its snotty, hilarious best, rattling along on an 100mph wave of smart, deadly one-liners and beautifully abrasive riffs. [Jun 2013, p.87]
-
Apr 12, 2013Vanishing Point serves as a 34-minute distillation of what those who still expect things out of Mudhoney expect from Mudhoney.
-
Apr 12, 2013There remains a re-assurance in these grooves that here is a band that knows what is does best and is perfectly happy to play to its strengths.
-
Apr 1, 2013As you get better acquainted with Vanishing Point your perspective will shift, as they do on most albums that play up their surface unflatteringly.
-
Apr 2, 2013While Vanishing Point keeps the slack alive, it cries for an extra shot of venom and volume.
-
Apr 17, 2013There’s just not enough that grabs you by the throat and pulls you back to listen over and over again.
-
Apr 3, 2013Think of it as maturing without growing up, and it works here on a handful of tracks.
-
Apr 1, 2013As much as these songs hit upon Mudhoney's winning elements, there's a lack of swing in the band's step.
-
Apr 1, 2013There's little doubt that Mudhoney intend this to be an obtuse, difficult listen--the lyrical allusions to GG Allin certainly suggest as much--but its lackadaisical approach leaves it feeling toothless rather than effortlessly cool.
-
Under The RadarMar 29, 2013Think Ash covering Nirvana and you'll have an idea of just how bad an idea this album is. [Mar-Apr 2013, p.94]
