Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "The band's seventh studio album mixes gritty country, the more familiar rootsy rock'n'roll of the autobiographical 'Diamond In The Rough'...and the Stonesy 'California'...", "Each one of these tunes will clearly rattle the rafters anywhere Social D plays, but with an added veneer that complements the raw, punk-like energy that is the band's stock in trade.", "Social D's trademark brew of punk, country, and Stonesy blues raunch feels weirdly, surprisingly fres....Ness has reaffirmed his relevance with a vengeance.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Closer 'Still Alive' encapsulates the diehard survivor theme, and the band hammer it home with heartlifting vigour.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "With longtime live staple 'Bakersfield,' finally getting a proper studio treatment."
