    Edgy and immediate, this companion piece to The Unraveling is a delight. My favourite band continue to uphold their very high standards. Cooley and Hood are, without doubt, at a level comparable to Jagger/Richards or Plant/Page.

    Terrible. Boring. Tuneless. Enough with the political preaching already. Three albums in a row of that crap. Please do better next time.

    At a time of such division, it’s a startlingly brave record and all the more necessary for it.

    A fantastic rocket of a record, which adds to the renaissance brilliance of 21st-century Truckers.

    The result is a patchwork quilt of an album, stitched together from scraps gathered here and there—but then, those quilts are often the warmest, the most comforting. ... Especially after the unrelenting darkness of its predecessor, The New OK sounds all the more affecting for not being quite so dire.
