Mar 10, 2012The band does loud and lurching as well they do as caustic and drifting, but catharsis never quite comes--the singers just manage to keep each other in check.
-
MojoFeb 27, 2012This brisk, well-crafted follow-up maintains the feeling if a pop band masquerading as something harder. [Mar 2012, p.102]
-
Feb 22, 2012Ultimately, from start to finish, you know what you've ordered: proficient, precision-executed blues-rock with few genuine surprises.
-
Q MagazineFeb 21, 2012Their second album finds them full of anthemic swagger and brio. [Mar 2012, p. 97]
-
Feb 21, 2012An album worthy of repeated listens but limited by its inability to adapt and enrapture a change of pace often just representing a drop in quality.
-
Feb 17, 2012It's pleasant enough ... but somehow lacks the cutting edge.
-
Feb 16, 2012It's all entirely listenable, if not what you might expect.
-
Under The RadarMar 21, 2012The album, at its heart, is noisy and self-assured blues-rock with sweeter (read: softer) pop elements dotting the landscape. [Mar 2012, p.83]

Mar 15, 2012Sweet Sour downshifts something ridiculous, slow and a little disappointing for a little too long (especially for fans of 2009 debut Baby Darling Doll Face Honey), because holy crap, did it melt faces ever so well for a little while.
-
Feb 15, 2012Completely mediocre.
-
Feb 17, 2012Sledgehammer riff-filled rock doesn't need to be clever, but it sure as heck needs to sound like it's driven by full-pelt, carnage-causing energy. And that's where Band Of Skulls' second effort falls short.
