Jan 27, 2014Sure, they sound more focused and professional on Do Not Engage, but they have done that on every album they've released.
-
Jan 27, 2014It's not common for a band to rock this hard and sound this smart at the same time, and the fact they've managed this accomplishment with a mere two people confirms Do Not Engage is both a solid dose of rock action and a model of modern efficiency.

Mar 19, 2014Black and Miller aren’t as bluntly exposed as on their earliest records, but they still keep Diamond’s production bracingly in check for a sound that preserves a pervading visceral punch.
-
MagnetFeb 21, 2014The Pack A.D. hews closer to the grunge side of the equation, playing with the slow-boiling fury of the geographical touchstones of the Pacific Northwest while never forgetting the history its forged. [No. 106, p.57]

May 5, 2014Inevitably, in this bursting collection of high energy rock, the album loses its bite towards the end.
-
Jan 27, 2014The production (thanks to Jim Diamond) also sounds more radio-ready, but the increased crispness makes the looseness of Maya Miller’s drums far more distracting than it used to be, and everything is far too cold.
-
Mar 5, 2014If energy and enthusiasm count for anything, then The Pack A.D. comes out a step ahead. The problem is, they don’t seem to know when to pull back.
