    Fun, raw, classic album. Perfect follow-up to TMLT. Those shocked or put off on the first listen should return again, and maybe once more after that, before casting it off. If you approach it on its terms, this is a truly solid piece of rock and roll in 2018-- who would have thought?

    If the Pogues and Modest Mouse had a big sloppy french kiss, this is what it would sound like. My new favourite album.

    Some new ideas are welcome more than a decade into the Jersey outfit's career, but they could've been used to more exciting ends. [No. 150, p.59]

    It's not an especially varied or original offering, but it is remarkably authentic and engrossing, and for that alone, Stickles and company deserve applause.

    Stickles and company prove once again that there is nothing more punk than doing the opposite of what’s expected. And this album meets, exceeds and plays with expectations in the way only Stickles knows how.
