Sits easily with their early best, a worthy addition in the tradition of turning heartbreaking circumstances into cathartic art

The Line Of Best Fit
A fresh creative phase, one where the band sounds locked in and back onto the volatile but vibrant musical track that got them noticed in the first place

Under The Radar
For over a decade they've been purveyors of true, nitty-gritty rock music, and on that front Specter At the Feast delivers

While they tread familiar ground, they do so with memorable riffs, and quite enough sonic oomph to retain the attention

Loud And Quiet
It sounds cathartic and maybe now this ‘difficult’ record is behind them, BRMC can move on

Pitchfork
What hurts Specter ultimately is that this band can’t get out of its own way. The requirements of making another rockin’ BRMC album choke what could’ve been an affecting, low-key detour

The Irish Times
The tracks that are closest to 2005’s refreshingly rootsy Howl are most agreeable, but even the scuffed acoustic swing of Lullaby and Some Kind of Ghost signal a band low on new ideas
