    I absolutely adore this album. Remo Drive gets very personal with this album, and the passion they put into this is completely tangible. They’re finding their own sound and it’s a haunting and beautiful listen. Give Portrait of an Ugly Man a listen!

    Utilising informed guitar sound palette and Johnny Marr ingenuity. [Aug 2020, p.89]

    In attempting to strike a balance between the raw, emo-punk approach of their debut with the more streamlined indie rock of Natural, Everyday Degradation, they've revealed that their biggest problem isn't settling on an identifiable sound, it's their inability to write a truly memorable song.

    This album’s got plodding drum work, tasteless guitar work, and some of Paulson’s worst lyrics ever, but it’s also an interesting album.
