    VOIDS is testament to a band who have never rested in their creativity, and have managed to rebuild and recreate while holding at their core the things that made them brilliant 15 years ago. Have a listen.

    An album that feels inspired by nostalgia but not limited to it, which bodes well for wherever Minus The Bear decides to go next.

    A renewed sense of purpose exudes from every song, with an abundance of electronics playing nicely with their roiling guitar rock. [Apr 2017, p.80]

    Despite the time off and lineup shake-ups, album No. 6 bears all the hallmarks of the band's 15-year career.

    They're never going to be the heaviest band in the world, but Minus The bear are at their strongest when they threaten to get their claws out. [25 Mar 2017, p.52]

    VOIDS is largely composed of lightly angsty guitar rock anthems and pseudo-emo ballads, with little instrumental sophistication to satisfy long-term fans.

    Most of the album is way over-polished and creatively stifled. MTB try to maintain a sense of how well they did prog-punk but this is a line they can't even straddle anymore. The beauty that was once there is gone. Voids is aptly titled.
