MojoFeb 2, 2015If the formula is simple, it delivers brutish thrills a-plenty. [Feb 2015, p.89]
-
Oct 17, 2014The band’s adept at sustaining a singular sound throughout via rabid drumming, guitar fuzz at burning moss level and the fractured harmonies at freaky.

Oct 17, 2014What we have here are twelve tracks of attitude, spice, intensity and verve, largely played at an uncompromising, breakneck tempo, but never compromising in terms of melodic accessibility or technical prowess.

Oct 17, 2014Meatbodies don't just blindly hit peak after peak, shredding toward the high heavens uninterrupted for a full album. They pull back and indulge their more psychedelic inclinations, letting Ubovich's voice shine, lilt, and echo over steady acoustic strumming.

UncutNov 11, 2014Surprises are reassuringly thin on the ground here, but the quality of Ubovich's psych-tinged ramalams, mostly delivered at Ramones speed, is high. [Dec 2014, p.77]

Oct 17, 2014Although the guitar stands at the forefront of this record, at some points (“Gold”, “Plank”) they overshadow Ubovich’s bizarre, reverb-filled vocals, which beg for more of the spotlight. Regardless, fans of garage, psychedelic rock, and punk will all find something enjoyable to take way from Meatbodies.

Oct 17, 2014As a songwriter, Ubovich still seems to be getting his sea legs; many of these tracks seem to be more about jamming than delivering melodies that will stay with you after the record comes to a close.
