"I don't know how but this is the first Mew's album I ever listen. In my opinion, this is an honest pop rock album. I'll definitely dig into their previous releases to discover this band. Favorite tracks: Satellites, Witness Less favorite tracks: The Night Believer, Interview The Girls"  Reply

"Pylon (2015) definitely is as powerful in sound as it is in lyrical vision. Killing Joke shows no sign of slowing down or getting old. With respect to music and lyrics they might even be more relevant than ever before. An unrelenting, thunderous rhythm section (Pumping bass. Impeccable drumming) ..."  [+]  Reply

"I actually find this to be this album to be his most consistent. He sticks to the themes from beginning to end and I like how he expanded to a more rock based sound on songs like Deathcamp and the title track.
