    Their third album chugs like a Stockholm freight train with a Queens Of The Stone Age caboose. [9/16 Nov 2012, p.98]
  2. The genius of Lights Out is that it packs a punch without any gimmicks.

    For the moment, Lights Out suggests they are capable of producing compelling work even as they become increasingly comfortable in their own skin.

    These Swedes can write a song with hooks that travel deep through your ears and stay in your cerebral cortex.

    For contemporary metal fans, Lights Out might sound more like Wolfmother--or a supercharged version of the Black Crowes--than an actual metal record.

    It's when they channel the early days of '70s metal on the Deep Purple-ish Endless Night that they're at their best.... A little more such magic, and Graveyard would be great. [3 Nov 2012, p.53]

    I catch myself unknowingly enjoying Lights Out whenever I quit trying to overtly "listen" to it.
