The WireJun 11, 2020As a whole, Goons Be Gone feels strangely anachronistic, but not nostalgic. Retrieved from the heyday of punk rock, but with a lot of its own to say. [Jun 2020, p.59]
-
Jun 5, 2020Goons Be Gone isn't the perfect synthesis of chaos and control that No Age have been searching for their entire career, but it finds some of their best songs and most fruitful experiments presented in a style that's never sounded more singularly their own.
-
Jun 18, 2020It’s a sprawling collection that fuses sonic experimentation with classic song structures to devastating effects in parts.
-
Jun 8, 2020Their sound may be familiar by now, and their days as the poster children of L.A. DIY are more than a decade in the rearview. But at their most fearless, No Age can still make discord feel sound utopian.
-
UncutJun 5, 2020Strikes a deft balance between hooks'n'riffs and meditative drifts. [Jul 2020, p.33]
-
Jun 5, 2020No Age's latest is not ground-breaking, but it doesn't need to be. It's an enjoyable rock record from a pair of sonic auteurs whose instincts for DIY noise-punk are as strong as ever.
-
Jun 5, 2020Goons Be Gone won’t go down as No Age’s best, but it benefits from its directness.
-
Jun 5, 2020Goons Be Gone is nothing particularly new for them, but when No Age balance their flavors of weirdness with the wildness, it still hits the right marks.
