Aug 31, 2017Toy doesn't dog-Pile its predecessor, and in eschewing a straight-ahead continuation of the same-ol', A Giant Dog continues marking distinctly new territory.
-
Aug 31, 2017Toy is a more-than-worthy successor to last year’s excellent Pile opus, gnawing away at your affections with carefree abandon--an oversized canine you’ll be glad to see off the leash.
-
Sep 5, 2017Musically, Toy is their most experimental and varied album.
-
Aug 31, 2017While the rest of the album blows past you at breakneck pace, there are enough moments where the band let their deeper side show. It keeps Toy interesting.
-
Aug 31, 2017A Giant Dog's greatest strength, however, remains their ability to tap into the enduring elements of rock's true grit and create feelings that are appropriately cathartic, dangerous, and fun.
-
Sep 25, 2017Their lewd punk anthems are messy and sloppy, and even a little bit sticky, but A Giant Dog wouldn’t want it any other way.
-
Aug 31, 2017A Giant Dog conquers the seemingly impossible task of being emotional while remaining enjoyable.
