    The music is taut, compressed and, in places, vulnerable and beautifully resonant. [May 2018, p.90]

    An album flush with both vicissitudes and vitality, What a Time to be Alive resonates with its resolve.

    Superchunk do come back full circle with a timeless, uniform body of work, though it also takes them back a few years after their late-career breakthroughs Majesty Shredding and I Hate Music.
