  1. 8.8 |   Paste Magazine

    Each song here is a lesson in catchiness. Every driving guitar onslaught, drum hop around, keyboard attack and vocal screed is a hook unto itself

  2. 8.3 |   Consequence Of Sound

    This is an album that demands to be called what film critics love to dub actions films: It’s a “high octane thrill ride,” one that absolutely and positively gives zero fucks whether you can keep up

  3. 8.3 |   Earbuddy

    White Reaper has finally released their first LP, and it's fantastic

  4. 8.0 |   Gig Soup

    This is a record that demands to be played loud. No subtlety, no hiding - raucous surf rock that goes deeper than you’d expect

  5. 8.0 |   The 405

    The band that they are most reminiscent of is The Strokes. White Reaper have a similar economy with their hooks as the NY band did on their early releases

  6. 8.0 |   Q

    If they can capture the magic live, they'll be truly special. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   NME

    Simple, unruly and riotously fun

  8. 8.0 |   All Music

    More than almost any other rock & roll band in 2015, these guys truly get what it's all about and they aren't shy about sharing it as loudly and ecstatically as possible

  9. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    White Reaper will always be labelled as revisionists, plagiarists or a third rate Ramones tribute act. Take my advice, ignore the nay-sayers, grab yourself a girl and a Bud and party like it’s 1976

  10. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    From one flash-in-the-pan track to the next, the band jackhammers apart hooks and urgently steers guitars across the rubble. It’s a jarring excursion that keeps the listener perfectly perched on the tipping point of exhilaration and recklessness

  11. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    White Reaper's Does It Again exists for the sole purpose of reminding us why we love rock 'n roll in the first place: because it fucking rocks

  12. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    If nothing else, White Reaper Does it Again offers up a heady, enjoyable dose of nostalgia
    Read Review

  13. 6.8 |   Pitchfork

    Barring a couple of forgettable, filler-feeling tracks like "Don't You Think I Know?", the biggest drawback of Does It Again is the production

  14. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    There’s a predictability to the new White Reaper LP, but the band’s core competency will likely keep most listeners from caring too much

  15. 6.0 |   NOW

    A giddy, distorted powerpop mess indebted to the Exploding Hearts and contemporaries Twin Peaks

  16. 4.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    Attitude can only carry content so far
