  1. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Recommended unreservedly to fans of early QOTSA and Black Mountain. Print edition only

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    Blast out feel-good heavy rock that. like a leaner, poppier Wooden Shjips, never forget to groove. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   BBC

  4. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    The riffs are generally pretty straightforward but well judged and previous labels such as jazz-metal seem somewhat further removed given the directness of most on show

  5. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    This is a blistering record that defies convention as much as it delights in melody, and a worthy flagbearer for rock music in this year’s crop of forward thinking releases

  7. 7.0 |   NME

    Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    What’s most impressive about their thunderous riffs is the simplicity of their approach, the duo getting to the heart of their mettle with just guitars, drums and vocals

  9. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    Like all retro music it can feel a little tired at times. It's not that Tweak Bird haven't experimented, it's more that the mood of the album harks back to an era that we've heard already

    Earthquaking drums and guitars that hover like buzzards. Print edition only
