    It's nice to hear a return to random form from The Men, as the last album Devil Music did not thrill me too much. This album is stylistically al over the place like Open Your Heart was, but more consistent and well thought out. "Maybe I'm Crazy and "Killed Someone" are some of their best rock songs, and "When I Held You in My Arms" and "Rose to the Top of the World" are some of their bestIt's nice to hear a return to random form from The Men, as the last album Devil Music did not thrill me too much.

"Maybe I'm Crazy and "Killed Someone" are some of their best rock songs, and "When I Held You in My Arms" and "Rose to the Top of the World" are some of their best ballads, sort of jangle country rock. The light up the bong on "Sleep" and "Final Prayer" for some drifty hare-Krishna type **** which is not really my favorite side of this band, but they rebound at the end with a Pearls to Swine type mystical folk tune "Come to Me" which is another winner. In all, a strong effort up there with Leave Home and Tommorows Hits!… Expand

    The result is less a coherent statement and more a collection of songs that simply show off their eclectic influences and their ability to reproduce them well. [May 2018, p.91]

    The music here is, at times, superb--it’s just hard to imagine anything (except maybe Rose On Top Of The World or Killed Someone) finding a place in your permanent playlist. And a lot of it is just average, which is probably the worst thing you could say about a band as mercurial as this.

    It’s no more mixtape-like than anything else they’ve done, but Drift feels unusually scattered despite its lean runtime.
