    Ash still put out heart and reliable joy. [Oct 2023, p.86]

    The teenage tyrants of "Girls From Mars" fame may now be chasing the tail-end of their forties, but they've lost little of that youthful vigour. [Nov 2023, p.25]

    Very occasionally, such as during the first half of the otherwise excellent Crashed Out Wasted, that compulsion to pour honey in our ears can lead to a little too much saccharine. But on the whole, Race The Night is a journey worth taking, deftly hitting all of the touchpoints that make Ash such a special band.

    Occasionally, songs like Like A God and the fiery Double Dare do recall the band’s old magic, but those moments are few and far between.
