Reviews
"Musically speaking, it contains more feats of derring-do than a Cirque du Soleil show, and is erudite enough to excite even the most studious, skeptical ethnomusicologists. But most of all, it's just fun, and this is no small accomplishment.", "Exceptional as their songwriting may be, frontwoman Brittany Howard’s take-no-prisoners croon remains the band’s crown jewel.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This is a weirder, woozier, fiercer and sexier record than their debut in nearly every way.", "Any group who are able to segue from the psychotropic ’70s soul of ‘Guess Who’ to the proto-punk sturm und drang of ‘The Greatest’ are clearly no one-trick ponies.", "Rather than resting on the laurels of our expectations, Alabama Shakes manage to make roots-rock a surprise again."
