"There's a real focus and sharpness to this release, whether that's down to the addition of Richardson or not I don't know, but the whole album exudes a confidence that has been growing within the band over their past few records and it's all coalesced into this, a fine piece of work from a group fully in command of their own abilities. The band never overwork any of the songs on the album and, consequently, it's all tight and concise, further evidence that the band have hit upon a groove ... 'Soldiers Under Command' will always be the album I measure the band by and that was a truly immense record indeed. With reference to Sweet's initial remarks about 'God Damn Evil' being their best album to date? You know what, he might just be right".
