No Age Snares Like a Haircut

"Dean Spunt's vocals confidently leap to the fore, Randy Randall changes chords in discernible, tab-able ways, ones that could be bashed out without a daisy chain of effects pedals."
"[I]t bears by far their highest ratio of 'songs' to 'ambient drift,' with several that could conceivably crash playlists worded to appeal to people who still associate indie rock with guitars."
"[The album] feels like a reaffirmation of core principles: the primal thrill of drums and guitar at full tilt, the dreamy, textural possibilities of the distortion pedal. But this is noticeably a slightly older, wiser No Age, one aware that the rigours of the age demand a little more than good-times positivity."
Paste (magazine) - "Surprisingly, they're still managing to find new ways of making a massive racket -- the force of their deafening roar still their most distinguishing feature."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[A] dynamic collection by some margin -- their version of a proper rock record. If its nervous system is running on hooks and speed, then its blood is sublime, sparkling noise and emotion."
