    The sound of a band cruising towards their peak

  3. 8.0 |   Q

    For the already converted, Go-Go Boots will be a welcome return on both their loyalty and earlier financial investment. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   The Independent

    The promised "R&B Murder Ballad Album" recorded concurrently with last year's The Big To-Do, and it's every bit as good as that description suggests
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Expect songs about lives turned sour; expect music that shuffles around the Deep South, incorporating elements of country, rock and southern soul
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Ebbs and flows but maintains a beautifully coherent sense of identity
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   AU Review

    Doesn’t represent a dramatic departure for Drive-By Truckers, just a logical and pleasing evolution
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   Beats Per Minute

    An album that truly showcases just how skilled and versatile the band is
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Ahe analogue rendition of a stick of Southern yarns, long on observation, short of syllable and rough as your old boots
    Read Review

  10. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    Stands as a testament to the unparalleled songwriting of Cooley and Hood and as a reminder of just how special this band can be
    Read Review

  11. 7.7 |   Pitchfork

    [Recalls] the ramshackle vibe of their first two albums
    Read Review

  12. 7.5 |   BBC

    A well-crafted set of weatherworn country, soul and Southern blues
    Read Review

  13. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    An inconsistent record from one of rock’s most consistent bands
    Read Review

  14. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    A worthy purchase
    Read Review

  15. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    On this evidence they’re not showing any signs of coasting or lack of inspiration
    Read Review

  16. 7.0 |   The Observer

    A more introspective affair than last year's rockier The Big To-Do, with a smattering of 60s soul-inspired flourishes
    Read Review

  17. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    A raggedy revision of classic southern soul, complete with two Eddie Hinton covers
    Read Review

  18. 7.0 |   Spin

    Patterson Hood is still the main event, calling forth a rogues' gallery of ex-cops, misunderstood stalkers, and disgraced preachers
    Read Review

  19. 7.0 |   FasterLouder

    Patterson has lost nothing through the years and his song writing is still beautifully descriptive
    Read Review

  20. 6.0 |   The Scotsman

    Lyrically sharp throughout, if occasionally rather obvious in its arrangement
    Read Review

  21. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    There's no single to bring them to the attention of the masses. But the Truckers are an album band - and this is another solid outing
    Read Review

  22. 6.0 |   Bowlegs

    Takes the listener in a variety of directions and sounds
    Read Review

  23. 5.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    A bounty of tales picked from the kaleidoscope of Southern living
    Read Review

  24. 4.0 |   Slant Magazine

    By far their least satisfying record to date
