"Lige fra den amerikanske sydstatsballade Roll the Woodpile Down til den skæbnetunge traditional The Wife of Usher's Well spilles der med uimodsigelig entusiasme, mens det gamle materiale i sig selv rummer rigeligt med drama og action. Det er forfriskende, at bandet tager fat i folkloren og skyder den afsted med så stor overbevisning".

"This is a brash, noisy set that at times almost topples over because of the complex arrangements and constant changes of mood and pace, but succeeds because of the 11-piece band's frantic enthusiasm. Folk purists should beware; the Carthy/Swarbrick favourite Byker Hill is now treated to a gutsy, romping backing and bursts of full-bloodied choral work, the Copper Family classic Thousands Or More is reworked with jaunty and then elegant strings and brass".

"If you thought their last album Hedonism was full-blooded - and by golly it was - this one blows it (and everything else) out of the water ... While sticking to an all-English traditional repertoire, they twist, subvert and thrash it around with what many will consider reckless abandon at a frantic level of intensity ... Lots of people will hate it and accuse them of desecrating tradition and all sorts. Personally I think it's wonderful".
