"Another excellent entry in Adams' recent string of stadium rock and heartland rock. The style suits him well, and adds strength and an edge to the tender lyrics. Recommended." Reply
"(Clean, professional, epic, varied, subtly ambitious, well-realized, piece of Pop ((in so many varied forms)) that never falls short of technical brilliance.

"Coldplay's business plan nowadays: releasing always even more duller and just radio-friendly pop albums that work for pleasing stadium crowds and every once in a while dropping an album without big promotion that shows enough musicial craftmanship to keep Oldplay from entirely writing the band of..."

"Dec20. I just love the sound of these guys. The bridge between Nirvana and 2000s emo, with a good bit of punk thrown in. Not sure how such bleak lyrics and sounds can make me feel so good. They just express things so directly. If wallowing in mysery over 2020 or suffering from some anxiety, then ..." [+] Reply
"For me when a beloved artist calls it a day its like a death in the family, and so it goes the great Midnight Oil sign off forever with the excellent ‘Resist’ My love affair with Midnight Oil goes all the way back to 1981 when I “loaned” my sisters cassette tape copy of ‘Place Without a Postcard’..."

"In before this record get torn to shreds by this site. People are acting like it's Solar Power 2.0. It's not.
