  1. 9.0 |   The Quietus

    An instant classic of the stoner-doom hybrid and an earthy, electrifying endgame for rock & roll itself

  2. 8.3 |   A.V. Club

    While a few songs on Black Age Blues could’ve been cut, it’s still a Goatsnake album, which is to say that it’s badass

  3. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    There’s not one tired moment, no obvious retreads to be heard. It’s a solid third act, making good on the promises of (many) tomorrows

Wet Leg  moisturizer

After the whirlwind of their debut album, the Isle Of Wight band could have capitulated to the pressure. Instead, they return smarter, sexier and altogether stronger NME

Wet Leg  moisturizer

There’s also a fluidity to the entirety of Moisturizer that ventures beyond the limitations of the debut and everything Wet Leg signalled in their early stages Far Out

Barry Can’t Swim  Loner

Loner is an easy improvement over Barry Can't Swim's debut album, and he retains his ability to craft reflective, sentimental material while strengthening his skills at making airtight tracks designed to ignite the dancefloor All Music
