Independent review

A glam-rock Bob Dylan. With "Mr Soft," things get genuinely interesting and original—evoking both Bowie and Slade right off the bat. "Ritz" features a wonderful, expansive, cosmic acoustic sound. The closer they lean toward conventional glam, the duller things get. "Cavaliers" is dreadfully long-winded, yet you find yourself waiting for that brilliant chorus every single time. "Sling It" has an insistent, buzzing quality—the kind you’d actually want to let into your home. While it drags in places, it’s certainly never boring; it’s frequently original, yet never feels forced or contrived. A worthy representative of the era.
