Reviews"The record finds significance in odd moments, and in subtle movements of crescendo and mood, perhaps displayed best on the reverb-y dream ride 'Strangest Thing.'", 4 stars out of 5 -- "These songs revel in their spaciousness, like three- minute drivetime anthems from 1986 set free from their radio edits to muck around with 2017’s oddest noises for seven minutes at a time.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "This is a band out ot revitalise the hoary old scarecrow of rock, stuffing it with lightning not sawdust....Exhilarating in places...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Granduciel is still more about layered textures and tight-woven phrases than he is about noodling, and anxiety still lurks under heady aural comforts, laid out in his nasal, Dylanesque vocal tones.", "A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING is the sound of a restless and gifted creative force expanding his reach and, in some cases, picking up where he left off.", "It’s not just that A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING is one of the best rock albums in years, but that the music itself is so expansive and enveloping that it feels like it should be everywhere."
