Are the "Guitar" and "Rocks" reviews of BDAW are available somewhere on line?

The new issue of french magazine "Obskure Magazine" features an article about NMA and a review of the new album and it will be available next Monday.   ;)

"The best album to bear the NMA imprint since 1989's classic 'Thunder and Consolation.'"

8/10 ( Classic Rock)

8/10 ( Classic Rock)
For those not on the FB page...  ;)


New Model Army
Between Dog and Wolf
Crusty alt.rock stalwarts bare their canines.

Four yeas on from the unexpectedly metallic hues of 2009's "Today is a Good Day", Justin Sullivan's indestructible crew are on typically combative form on their twelfth studio album. In contrast to its predecessor's strident gait, "Between Dog and Wolf" is an album of dark shadows, ominous uncertainties and wildly dynamic ambushes. Songs like the rumbling, weather-beaten opener "Horsemen", the distinctly creepy "I Need More Time" and the haunting, grandiose "Quasr El Nil Bridge" have been built around persistent rhythmic pulses and a dash of ambient menace, bringing Sullivan's usual role of malevolent narrator into the foreground and making his tales of chaos, fear, societal confusion and the runaway haste of mortality's ticking clock more evocative and compelling than at any time since his band's late 80s commercial heyday. In fact, thanks to the sublime crescendos and soaring choruses of "Seven Times", "Pull the Sun" and the simply stunning "Storm Clouds", it is more than apparent that this is the best album to bear the NMA imprint since 1989's "Thunder and Consolation."
Eight out of ten.

"dark shadows, ominous uncertainties and wildly dynamic ambushes"

I like the sound of that. Only a couple of weeks now  :)

The review in the new issue of Obsküre Magazine is very positive.
The reviewer says that it is  overall a "coherent, totally controlled/masterful album, great NMA", a few songs are a bit less memorable than others because of the album's long length ( over 1h of recording) but there are also many fine songs ("Seven times", "Between dog and wolf", "I need more time", "Quasr el nil bridge", "Ghosts" and "Knievel", the latter one according to the reviewer could have been included among the best songs of "Thunder and consolation" and "Impurity")

Overall rating: 80% ( there's also a 4 pages interview of Justin in this issue.  ;))

agree with that. And i knew this album would be very different from the last one. it is. And it's not my fav of NMA. But maybe, it's because i'm more into Metal/Rock music at the moment.

Nice to read a Review I can actually understand  :) Far too many reviewers seem to swallow a Thesaurus before writing and end up spending more time mincing with fancy words than actually reviewing the subject matter.
8 out of 10  ;)
