Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "Icarus Line have exhumed the mysterious shamanism of Jim Morrison, the attractive immortality of Iggy Pop and - if the exhortations on their sonically dense second album are anything to go by - take pleasure in workaday psychosis and bowel-loosening rock'n'roll.", 3 stars out of 5 - "'Spike Island' creeps stealthily like an outtake from Iggy and the Stooges' RAW POWER.", 4 stars out of 5 - "The Icarus Line are proudly bloody-minded and self-destructive. Paradoxically, there's something so life-affirming and optimistic in their unassailable belief in ugly noise. Blood, drugs and evil flow through these tracks, but not an iota of cynicism."
