  1. 8.5 |   The 405

    This is a slick, polished rock album with a clear lineage from bands such as L7, Sleater-Kinney and Celebrity Skin-era Hole to more contemporary acts such as Du Blonde, Dream Wife and Pip Blom

  2. 8.0 |   The Music

    Stuffed & Ready' feels like an intentional coming undone, a controlled mental unravelling

  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    While Stuffed & Ready shares the glossy sheen (thanks to Carlos de la Garza, who returns for a second go-round as producer) and excellent songwriting of its predecessor, 2017’s Apocalipstick, the former is darker and more insular both musically and lyrically

  4. 8.0 |   NME

    More inward-looking than their previous records, the alternative rockers’ raucous new album is a soul-searching triumph, smoothing over their DIY edge for a greater sense of depth and maturity

  5. 8.0 |   Slant Magazine

    The album isn’t always hopeful, but it isn’t hopeless either, as it consistently provides a cathartic release for Creevy’s fury

  6. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    Parading internal woes while lording over all she surveys, Creevy proficiently reverses the notion that all guitar music is passé. Stuffed & Ready, just for you

  7. 8.0 |   Uncut

    It's Creevy's charismatically odd lyrics and playful, St. Vincent-style subversion of angsty feminine stereotypes on provocative curios such as "Daddi" that keeps us transfixed. Print edition only

  8. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Cherry Glazerr is a band about making opposites come together, of making the poles not seem so far apart to begin with. Stuffed & Ready is their finest accomplishment yet of such a daunting endeavor

  9. 7.5 |   Pitchfork

    Leading her thorny rock trio, Clementine Creevy keeps her themes broad and her anger specific as she reflects this moment’s feelings and fatigue

  10. 7.0 |   Clash

    More of Cherry Glazerr’s successes: the album is raw, desolate, and affecting

  11. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    Without any doubt, the Cherry Glazerr gang has never been stronger. But while that ten-ton force can bring you to your knees (especially the hair-metal-heavy "Stupid Fish"), the weight often crushes out the devil-may-care humor that made Apocalipstick such a blast

  12. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Cherry Glazerr are an excellent example of what happens when artists are given time to cook, when they’re given enough label support to make the records but aren’t yet forced into the spotlight

  13. 6.9 |   Earbuddy

    Apocalipstick, was great. And Stuffed & Ready is pretty good

  14. 6.0 |   Exclaim

    May not be Cherry Glazerr's most upbeat moment, but that doesn't mean it should be their most tedious as well

  15. 6.0 |   DIY

    With its gnarly riffs and big, dark, emotionally weighty numbers, there’s something claustrophobic about its vibe

  16. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    Cherry Glazerr have been carving out their own space since Creevy was in her teens. And there’s so much of that spirit in Stuffed & Ready, you can almost smell it

  17. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    The garage pep of the band’s previous album, Apocalipstick, vanishes in favour of gloomy alt-rock and rain-soaked grunge
