    The vocals are almost hilariously monotone, the lyrics loaded with crass, elementary rhymes, and the instrumentation is simply dreadful. [Jul 2014, p.98]

    This album is absolutely great.

    You can hear the inspirations flowing through your speakers.
    The Orwells are a bunch of 19 and 20 year olds who understand what a 19 and 20 year old is supposed to sound like.

    They're perfectly summarizing the spirit of the generation born in the mid 1990s.
    They're mad, they're sarcastic, but they absolutely know how good they are.

    Critics mistake their careless attitude with arrogance, but this is rock, they're not out there writing young adult fiction novels.

I'd guess a Black Lips meets Modest Mouse is an appropriate comparison at times ... but at others, more like the Hives meet Iggy Pop. Intriguing combos, right? Maybe even Stroke-ish at times. ... whatevs - if you like carefree rock, give it a go. Full Review »
