    The difficult second album never sounded so effortlessly good.

    It’s head-nodding, melody-following joy, which maybe shouldn’t work for a bleak album. But it does.

    It's exactly what a second album should be, and it's rare that any band delivers as well as Evans the Death do here.

    Tough but sugary, Expect Delays is an unhindered blast.

    Expect Delays chugs along at a pleasant pace – ‘Bad Year’ is particularly cheerful, considering its title. If there’s a delay to be had, it’s probably the fact that it takes a few listens to warm to the album as a whole.

    This is a confident, electrifying, weirdo-pop stormer of an album that deserves your attention.

    Evans The Death have come of age and produced an album that sounds like them, only lots, lots better.

    The departure of bassist Alanna McArdle to front Welsh noiseniks Joanna Gruesome doesn't seem to have dented the band's bruised vitality and pleasing lyrical spikiness. [Apr 2015, p.75]
