• A Place To Bury Strangers – Transfixiation | mxdwn.com Reviews – “Whether Ackermann needs teeth or tea is up for debate (unless an official lyrics page comes out), but after listening to this album one might fight the nearest person found (in which case, teeth may be needed) or one might collapse in bed from exhaustion (in which case, tea might be needed). Either way, enjoy this album for what it is – well crafted, surprisingly melodic, and brutal.”
