Relentless and driving, Clutch's latest delivers the goods, from the jam-kicking opening title cut to the leering "The Wolf Man Kindly Requests". The only slow tune, "Gone Cold", is seemingly strategically placed in the middle of the album, as if to offer a moment to cool down before heading, as the band would put it, "Once More Unto the Breach"-- and it's no cheesy radio ballad, but a cool, neo-blues tune you can really groove to. At times, the rock solid wall of sound can get a bit samey, but there plenty of very cool moments to keep the listener listening and rocking very, very hard.
