Aug 4, 2014The album is split into 10 blasts of discordant brilliance.
-
Aug 6, 2014Its style is limited, but the band manages to spread out within it, discovering their own idiosyncratic little vocabulary without ever exhausting it.
-
Aug 4, 2014Ten tracks of beer-soaked bar-floor bliss, Television Man sweats through with an octane of badassery that's hard to come by these days. And while it's far from album of the year material, it probably is one of the best rock 'n roll recordings to bless the scene in a long time.
-
Aug 15, 2014Sure, the songs' formulaic stop-and-spurt attack can wear on the listener's ears after a while--but this is an album well worth risking tinnitus for.
-
Aug 4, 2014After awhile, the monotony becomes wearing. Television Man is a disappointment in the sense that it’s a lot of the same, save for the two instrumental tracks, based on keyboards, that sound like attempts at making warped VHS soundtrack music.

Q MagazineAug 28, 2014Overall this is a deliberately austere affair. [Sep 2014, p.113]
-
Aug 7, 2014For now, with the biting and enjoyable Television Man, the band feels a bit stuck in a predictable art punk sludge.
