A ballsy, affirmative seventh album of surging rock. The Long Islanders have sounded reinvigorated since their classic lineup’s 2010 reformation. This, their seventh LP, has the energy and freewheeling creativity of a debut. “Death Wolf” is as hellacious as it sounds, the rollicking title track begs to be played from a dive bar jukebox, while “Call Come Running” and “In the Middle Of It All”—all pulsating guitars and emotive choruses—revisit their soaring emo years.
