Even when We Are Wolves misstep slightly on Invisible Violence, the defiant dancing doesn't need to stop.

Ultraviolet is directionless. Combine that with the weak subject matter, and we are provided little incentive to listen.

This album has a very strong opening and ending but the middle is skippable.

The tracks are an interesting selection of material and once you hear what McCoury’s done with them you’ll be won over for sure.

Backing their work with energetic live shows, the band is definitely worth the time and the dollar.

Many songs are just phrases repeated over and over again.

The Monitor is without question the work of a maturing band.

Spot-on guitars and almost addictive solos that seem to beckon for a second listen also mesh will with the best parts of Past Lives.

“No more talk, no more waiting on the side/ the lights are up and it’s showtime.” The boys are back, indeed.

Dead to Me deserves props for pushing forward and trying to find their new voice.

The album’s overall sentiment, rendered in his wavering but still-powerful baritone, seems to be, “It’s alright, I’m ready.”

Each of the five members pulls his weight perfectly, delivering an attention-grabbing performance and generating his share of infectious energy.

Here, the length of a syllable is just as important as a guitar riff; time is irrelevant, meant to be bent to your will.

At just four songs it’s woefully short, and even those four songs don’t quite know what to make of themselves.

But with each subsequent spin, despite my best efforts to stop it doing so, the disc got under my skin a little bit more.

Tension of the opposites is the key descriptive phrase here.

This record never stays in one place for long—much like the band itself.
