"Trampled by Turtles are well and truly back and with a heavy touring schedule in the US before reaching Europe later in the year perhaps there's no better line to summarise their return than these lyrics from the title track, "Life is good on the open road. We're closer now than we'll ever know. The light inside you comes and goes but it never really goes out".Welcome back guys, welcome back, but don't leave it so long next time. Please!".

"Did this bunch of guys learn that magic is a tangible element when they get together, like it was a barn dance in Northern Minnesota? Listeners have been sure for a very long time. Touching on themes that cross a vast range of emotions, capturing lightning in a bottle is a reality on Life is Good On the Open Road, a literal and metaphorical journey Trampled by Turtles invite listeners to join them on as they wander the open road, oh brilliantly so".

"The band went into hiatus because, like Simonett's marriage, the chemistry wasn't working any more, the familiar becoming a prison rather than a refuge. I don't know what the relationship between him and his ex-wife is like these days, but it seems pretty clear that he's talking about the band when, on the title track, he sings "We're closer now than we'll ever know/The light inside you comes and goes/But it never really goes out." Reunited and, as another set of Turtles put it, happy together, the good news is, its shining brightly".
