Reviews
Ranked #50 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "Potent...playing to the band's contradictory strengths.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "The turning point is 'Back Down South'....They tap into a real passion, Caleb singing with tangible warmth over guitars and fiddles that curl like wood smoke.", "'Mi Amigo' has the stripped-down junkie rock jangle of the greatest songs from 2005's AHA SHAKE HEARTBREAK.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "With 'The Face,' an atmospheric ballad with a weirdly Joy Division-flavoured tone.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The band keep the pedal to the metal with 'The Immortals', a massive slab of mutated Southern boogie with a funky groove in the transitions leading into a stately cadence under mushroom-cloud choruses.", "Caleb Followill opens his heart throughout -- he sounds yearning; his usual fervid bawls here turn into tender pines."
