This is the Sonics

"R&B informed the Sonics' unhinged passion from the get-go, and This Is the Sonics pays proper homage to the group's roots ... The Sonics' children are legion, and every generation of garage rockers owes them. Roslie and crew surely know this, but from the timeless sound of This Is the Sonics, they might just as well be oblivious to their legacy. Legacies are for the dead. The Sonics are alive and viciously well".

"Rob Lind still bleats sax like he's pummeling a sandbag, Jerry Roslie's howls would still make primal-scream therapist Arthur Janov plotz, and producer Jim Diamond drives Larry Parypa's stabbing guitar in deeper than ever. The new songs sound vintage; so do the covers: Their take on the Kinks' "The Hard Way" out-rocks the original, echoing the Brits' more loutish "You Really Got Me." They can still teach their garage offspring a thing or two".

"Deres første nye album i 48 år (!) er et mesterværk. The Sonics, der er blevet kaldt garagerockens fædre, præsterer med 'This is the Sonics' et vildt comeback".
