Exploding Head Reviews, near the end of October 2009
-
“Overall, this is pretty good, but I find that it’s better background music when I’m in the mood for something a bit challenging and abstract. It is being a bit overhyped, but I’ve given it a fair amount of time, and it is a solid release, I think”
-
“If there’s a fault with the album it’s that it borders on monotony in places and it can be exhausting to listen to in one sitting, as it demands to be heard with the volume cranked. But it is a strong contender for the guitar album of the year and A Place to Bury Strangers are the loud band of the moment.”
-
“Surprising is a measured reduction in wall to wall ear bleed guitar and a sense that A Place To Bury Strangers are starting to find their feet.”
-
“A Place To Bury Strangers make exactly the sort of music that people from older generations think that people from this generation listen to. At least, they do now, thanks to Exploding Head. The band’s 2007 self titled album, whilst now nearly universally regarded as a solid album of noisey post punk rattling was initially regarded as somewhat of an obscurity.”
