The fruits of their labour are a tighter, shorter progression into more streamlined harmonies and near-perfect three-minute power-rock than their debut.

BEATS PER MINUTE

On Sweet Sour, Band Of Skulls show themselves to be well equipped to keep the garage blues/rock flame alive.

CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

With this 10-track album, Band of Skulls essentially carry the flag of guitar, bass, and drum trios where other acts have grown fatigued and clichéd.

NME

Sadly, you’d be better off in the maelstrom of one of their live shows than taking this album home.

POPMATTERS

This is not an awful album. Instead, its problem is that it is completely mediocre.
