    When ambition is your only criticism, you know you’re probably onto something quite special.

    An epic, cataclysmic set playing host to moments of magnificent Strum-und-Drang. [Sep 2015, p.92]

    Wild, weird and wonderful, Dark Matter/Dark Energy is a lysergic punk triumph.

    Dark Matter/Dark Energy is the sound of a band that's acutely self-aware of its own legacy and where it fits in on the cultural landscape. Crucially, it doesn't attempt to be something that it's not and the honesty contained within is one of the album's greatest strengths.

    These fourteen songs bob and weave, rise and fall and generally make a first class racket in the best way possible.

    Dark Matter/Dark Energy is a potent reminder that Robb and his collaborators are still finding their way into the heart of darkness (which isn't too far from their hometown), and sending back compelling reports of what they've seen and heard.

    The Membranes’ first album in 26 years is an extraordinary comeback.
