    Jericho Sirens is an incredible turn, and proof to the other half-hearted post-hardcore comebacks of the last years (looking at you At the Drive-In, Refused and more) that it is possible to still be high-quality and relevant. In fact, in places Hot Snakes' fourth album is so good, it even puts newer bands who have come up in the meantime to shame.

    It all works. Whenever Hot Snakes decide to get together, they will always be welcome.

    This is yet another example of Hot Snakes at the top of their game, except this time they gave 14 years in exile for other, lesser bands to catch up with them only to reclaim the throne with ease.

    Their lengthy hiatus has clearly not dulled Hot Snakes' razor-sharp edge, one bit, making Jericho Sirens a very welcome return. [17 Mar 2018, p.55]

    The Snakes pick up right where they left off. ... Worth the wait.

    Jericho Sirens is rock & roll in its purest form; angry, white-hot, and overloaded with energy. It's good to have Hot Snakes back to show the posers and fakers how to do things the right way.

    Jericho Sirens releases the pause button as if Hot Snakes had been locked in freeze-frame for the past 14 years, instantly thrusting them back into action.

    To understand why this album is getting such great reviews, imagine one of your favorite bands stopped releasing music for a dozen years andTo understand why this album is getting such great reviews, imagine one of your favorite bands stopped releasing music for a dozen years and then they randomly drop what is likely their best album.
