Great review.  Let's see if Q magazine finally give NMA the acknowledgement they deserve, the respect they give to much lesser bands... a full feature would also be nice...  ???

I don't know if it is a "review", but:

http://www.peek-a-boo-magazine.be/en/news/2016/new-model-army-back-with-brand-new-single/

"The album is a powerful and emotionally intense body of work. From the opening epic “Beginning” through to the closing song “After Something” the album builds on the new directions taken by “Between Dog and Wolf”, yet also has familiar echoes of the immediacy and engagement of the band’s classic albums “The Ghost of Cain” and “Thunder and Consolation”."

French reviews:

http://www.obskuremag.net/chroniques/new-model-army-winter/

http://www.musicwaves.fr/frmReview.aspx?ID=14787&REF=NEW-MODEL-ARMY_Winter

Overall fine album for both reviewers, but the second one (rating "Winter" 3/5, like "Between dog and wolf" 3 years ago) complains a bit that it is not "concise"/tight/short enough.

My German is not what it used to be, but the general conclusion is quite positive: "a new creative peak".

A truer reflection of the band’s achievements lies in their ability to tap into truths so evocatively and passionately that their fans routinely become New Model Army lifers.

Rarely a truer word ever said...

Well I just received my copy of Winter plus my T shirt this past weekend . right now I am on my 1st listen. Kind of late to the party but there was never any doubt that I would not get my copy took 7 days ordering from the shop but that is all right shipping to the Colonies can take some time, going thru 2 postal systems . I will give my reviews some time later in the week as I will have multiple listenings by that time. 8)

"The older they get, the better they seem to get, each record topping the previous one. And with ‘Winter’, New Model Army have made yet another brilliant album. One of the best British bands ever, fact."
