Jul 23, 2015The whole thing is a little cheap, but clever, making it so much fun to be on the receiving end.
-
MojoJul 6, 2015Much of the remainder, however, plays a depressingly straight bat with mainstream thrills. [Aug 2015, p.96]

Q MagazineJun 2, 2015Peace Is The Mission feels like too much of a splurge to be enjoyable right through. [Jul 2015, p.109]

Jun 2, 2015Peace Is The Mission is equal parts tepid and garrulous, making it hard to get an overall read on this project. Probably best to not overthink it.
