Online Review: Mostly featuring songs written by and together, forecasts the imminent future of as a solo artist and as his right-hand man in more than just title. Now down to a four-piece following the departure of , the Party weren't any less confrontational than before; the opening sounds one hears is yelling, "Hands up, who wants to die?!" Sound overall is a touch crisper than on other studio tracks, with even more front and center than before. "Sonny's Burning" is a quick, brisk thrash, 's voice cracking more than once as the music builds to a series of climaxes throughout. "Wildworld" takes a bluesy tearjerker turn, Howard's death-rattle guitar perfectly suiting the song and setting the atmosphere. "Fears of Gun" builds up a tense energy over a favored lyrical subject for (crime, insanity, and romance), with and 's tight rhythm matched by Howard's scratchy feedback. "Deep in the Woods" ends in all on a perfectly outrageous note, with at his most sepulchral conjuring up a rural scene of devastation.
