  1. 9.0 |   God Is In The TV

    From the opening bass run on this first number, it sets a pace and tone for the album that is going to be hard to beat

  3. 8.0 |   Northern Transmissions

    Described as part of the UK’s burgeoning new post punk scene but more aptly TV Priest is so post punk, post hardcore, post everything, that it makes them a thoroughly modern act

  4. 8.0 |   musicOMH

  11. 6.0 |   Kerrang!
