4.0 excellent | WhiteNoise | July 22nd 11 | The Living End are back after their success of the album White Noise and whilst it may not have any instant singles like said album, it is much more solid and every track is indeed a winner. The songwriting is as strong as ever and they band even through a few suprises at the listener (Resist, Another Day)

3.0 good | lz41 | January 31st 13 | A classic example of a band failing due to a lack of awareness of their limitations. The Living End's strongest music has been through pop-punk gems like 'White Noise' and 'Prisoner of Society'. "Ending" is their attempt to broaden their image through mimicking Muse's anti-establishment paranoia, but the Melbourne trio just aren't Muse. Musically they just aren't innovative enough, but the irrelevancy of this album lies in the credibility, or lack thereof, that we can give them. A band coming from the easiest living city in the easiest living country in the world just can't write convincing anti-establishment, revolutionary songs, and it is for this reason that songs like "In The Morning," "Heatwave", "For Another Day" and "Song For The Lonely" just lack any bite. The album is not without its high moments, however: the chilling title track is the only time that all the pieces come together as the jaded politics really hit home, "Ride The Wave Boy" holds a stark realism to the endless loop of drug addiction that precious few Australian acts have had the guts to do in recent years and "Away From The City" bites with its backhand on the (Un)Holy Grail of fame and notoriety. It's sad that such good songs are lost in the pretentious, stuffy seriousness of the rest of the album.
