"On "Claw Marks On The Throne" the vocalists mention how death created time. This is an accurate statement as the length of this album is its death. The same Gnostic ideas and booming power cords go on for an hour, and by the latter half, I was ready for it to end."  Reply

"The title track and "Arc of Bar" are great, but the rest seems to be really lacking creativity. It feels like stuff I've heard before from 4 King & Country, and even they aren't the most innovative band around. Japandroids = Canadian 4 King & Country, but minus the fact that 4 King & Country are ..."  [+]  Reply

"I think Word Of Mouth is The Kinks' best album of the 80's. That doesn't make it one of the best albums of the band because we are still miles away from their great output of the late 60's and early 70's, but nonetheless, this album is enjoyable. I'm usually not particularly a fan of Dave's songs..."  [+]  Reply
