“APTBS take a more lateral approach to their influences, capturing the essential feel of the bands that inspire them, rather than quoting their music verbatim.”

“Having spent the past two years doing their utmost to convince all and sundry that their reputation as being the loudest band in New York tells only half the story, A Place To Bury Strangers more recent exploits on this year’s ‘Exploding Head’ opus suggests they’ve invested as much time in the tune department as they have exuding their infamous total sonic annihilation penchant.”

“On the absolutely stunning Exploding Head, the trio of singer/guitarist, Oliver Ackermann, bassist, Jono MOFO, and drummer, Jay Space realize their full potential”

“A Place To Bury Strangers have certainly turned in a remarkable second record with Exploding Head. True, there’s a bit of filler in the first half, and the whole thing is cleaner and a bit less visceral than their debut. But the album’s many high points dispel any notion of a sophomore slump, demonstrating the band’s growth as songwriters and precision as a unit. Hopefully that will be enough to shift some attention from Death By Audio to the songs themselves.”
