    The truth is finally out. People are talking about the music. People are dancing. People know Fat White Family are better than maybe Fat White Family themselves think they are.

    ‘Serfs Up!’ is initially impenetrable, but persistence is rewarding as the band sucks you deeper into their tilted netherworld with each listen. It’s by far their most interesting work to date.

    Serfs Up! is almost certainly their most accessible, most coherent collection to date.

    The band show significant growth here on what is easily their most accomplished effort to date.

    Serf's Up!'s sonic exploration heralds a more colourful new dawn for the Fat White Family. [Jun 2019, p.89]

    Serfs Up! feels effortless for the wrong reasons--though Fat White Family's sheen of coolness and atmospheric moods almost hides a lack of songcraft, it's best suited as background music.

    2 years later, still slaps. Bobby's Boyfriend definitely a grower, one of my favorites off the album now

    Serfs Up represents a sea change for FWF. This album should land them on many end of year lists. Bravo.
