Pete Macleod
Rolling Stone
Review by Gary Hill
Looking just to the album proper, this is nearly perfect. It’s got a great blend of folk rock, classic sounds and other things that just works well. This is the kind of music that appeals to just about any type of listener. Sure, it might not be the favorite type of music for a progressive rock fanatic or a metal head, but it’s the kind of thing they’d be happy to spin. The only real issue here is the hidden track. For a number of reasons (outlined in that track review) it should have been left off. Without that thing there, this would be a nearly perfect set. As it is, it’s still pretty great.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2014 Volume 1 at lulu.com/strangesound.
