Never gonna die

"'Never Gonna Die' er en gennemsolid punkplade, som idolerne i Bad Religion sikkert ville ønske, de stadig kunne skrive. Det er ikke stilskabende kunst, men det er gennemsolidt håndværk indenfor en genre, der længe har været stagnerende og trængt til nyt blod. Indtil videre nøjes vi gerne med, at én af de gamle leverer en midlertidig blodtransfusion".

"Truly one of the most enduring institutions in modern Punk, Pennywise are time-tested and proven to be masters at their craft. On Never Gonna Die, there are moments that lean toward a poppier Punk flavor, some good 'ole Rock-n-Roll, and a whole lot of something called hope. While the guys promise that the fight is worth continuing - politically, socially, and personally - there is a candid admission that the world around us is not exactly sunshine and bunny-rabbits. Despite this, Pennywise offer up a myriad of reasons to put one foot forward and trudge onward, not the least of which is being able to rock out to this new collection".

"Reviews are inherently selfish things, so I avoid being self-referential at almost all costs, but sometimes personal context is necessary. My tween days were spent blaring Pennywise's 2000 album Live @ the Key Club from a boombox as loud as my brother and I could get away with while jumping on our trampoline ... While the band has undoubtedly been the soundtrack to many folks' skateboarding escapades, for myself the ultimate litmus test isn't whether it'd play while one ollies, but whether it'd play while one jumps on a trampoline, and in that regard Never Gonna Die is a success".

"... like their heroes Bad Religion, Pennywise have remained essential through sheer tenacity - there's nothing on the just under 40-minute set that feels phoned in - and Never Gonna Die, like all of their albums, feels like it should have added an exclamation point to the end of the title".
