Feb 24, 2015This version of Gang of Four is clearly Gill’s vision, and if the group doesn’t sound as tightly wound as they did in their first incarnation, the angular guitar attack and the relentless pounding of the drums is a clear indication that the fire still burns within.

UncutFeb 19, 2015A lucid and accomplished departure. [Mar 2015, p.76]
-
Classic Rock MagazineFeb 26, 2015It's to Gill's credit that the band have retained their venom, spitting out terse rhythms and thick squirts of electronica. [Apr 2015, p.95]

Feb 23, 2015Far from snug or welcoming, the Gang’s overpoweringly thick-sounding ninth album is as refreshingly abstract as anything they’ve done before.

Feb 25, 2015What Happens Next is a distracted listen--an experimental Gill production that should be out under his name only.

-
Feb 24, 2015In place of once-sharp radical jabs, we get empty alarmism.
