"Barber-Way steps outside of her own body and the assaults it sustains, and creates a searing portrait of what it can look like to love without fear, even when that love doesn't resemble the fantasy we've been sold. BEST NEW MUSIC" - Pitchfork

"a punk act beloved by fans and critics from Austin to Moscow." - New Yorker

"Mish Barber-Way's deadliest vocal delivery to date" - Billboard

"their most arresting work to date, and one of the best albums of the year." 
Stereogum
"the best punk band of the current decade." - Brooklyn Vegan

"the album is a lean, 29-minute ride that's rich in new-school guitar tricks." 
- NYLON

"hot shit-all uptempo restlessness and witchy swagger-full of renewed raw power at every transition." - Vice

"catchier, offering a blood-soaked hand of friendship with radio-ready alt-rock" - MTV

"one of the best choruses I've heard from a modern band in ages" 
Marissa Nadler for The Talkhouse

"a record full of disease, doubt, dumpsters, and death, with the band rising above it all and reveling in their filth."  Consequence of Sound

"White Lung's newly presented dark-pop sensibilities never detract from their ever-tireless playing." - FLOOD

"another addition to a pretty flawless, decade-old White Lung canon" 
- AV Club

"White Lung have softened their ragged edges and in doing so have created one of the most compelling albums of the year. 5/5" - NME
