4.0 excellentSandwichBubble | September 30th 19

Forgive me lord, for I have leakspin'd.
I've been pretty good about not checking too many leaks this year, but yeah I couldn't help it.

Definitely their best since Ride the Skies. Non-stop, classic LB.
If they really are going out with this one, I don't think we could've asked for a better sendoff.
Good night, sweet prince(s).

3.8 excellentErwann S. EMERITUS | February 19th 20

One of the finest noise rock records of the past decade. While almost all noise rock bands nowadays incorporate math rock and post-hardcore influences, there still is room to differentiate yourself. Whereas You Won't Get What You Want went for the cold, mechanical and monochromatic, Fetch for the quirky and even the bizarre, Schlagenheim for the post-punk influences, Lightning Bolt delivers the most energetic and bombastic recent record of its genre. The cover art is particularly fitting: it's colourful, simplistic, yet realized with such a combination of application and devil-may-care it's simply impossible to not like it. Flex yo muscles, and be prepared to sweat 'cause it's about to get maniac.

I appreciate the album a lot more on further listens. It's a real grower, would recommend.

Man, Van Halen after all the catchy songs is really just a big finger to you but so awesome
