"To quote someone on Reddit, "The Van Morrison of the Twitter age". And to quote Pitchfork, "Everything feels silvery and romantic, like a hallucination of the classic-rock songbook".

"If (and only if) you ever get tired of listening to Kill 'Em All (& why would you), Bonded by Blood provides more of the same at just a notch (okay, maybe two) below Kill 'Em All caliber (& urgency). A solid (if decidedly second tier) answer for your Kill 'Em All riff addiction." Reply
