"Sid Griffin and co elegantly lament the cruelty of our times ... "Seasons Change" (...) is the song here that most closely echoes the sun-kissed back pages of the group's '80s albums, 1985's 'State Of the Nation' especially, and while the melodic psychedelia of old rears its head in several places, there's a stronger straight country influence elsewhere, notably in Sid Griffin's songs, reflecting the weather-beaten Americana of his other 21st century band The Coal Porters ... 'September November' is undeniably a vital, relevant, 21st-century artefact. It's reassuring to learn they're in for the long ryde".
