Reviews for "LOVE & CURSES":
*
"Here is something that I can write concisely and definitively: After
nearly 20 years, Cartwright has finally found solace in consistency,
making Love and Curses arguably the best release of his stoic career."

"Love and Curses features 14 songs driven by soul, strength and fierce
belief, and with a voice as strong as Greg Cartwright fronting a band
this tight and effective, Reigning Sound are just about unbeatable;
they're one of America's great bands and they're firing on all
cylinders with Love and Curses."

"In an era where kitsch too frequently trumps class, it’s a proud
moment hearing a band driven by none more than their love of the
material. Love and Curses is a rock ‘n’ roll record with neither
pretense nor manicure, a clean glimpse into rock’s exposed essence.

"In addition to his open-wound rasp-- few singers today can convey
grievous pain so easily-- (Greg Cartwright) also has an eye for the
cruelties and ironies of romance, which slice through every track. On
the stand-out "Debris", he sings about a lover's heart turning to stone
and his own turning to rubble, straining his voice like he has to cover
his eyes but can't look away."
- Stephen Deusner, Pitchfork Media

"Cartwright has absorbed his influences to such a degree that he can
generate instantly likeable songs like “Trash Talk,” “The Bells,” and
“Broken Things” seemingly off the cuff, proving anew how a brisk tempo
and the warm buzz of organ and guitar can make even the most desperate
pronouncement sound like an invitation."
- Noel Murray, AV Club

"... there’s a soulful grit, an understanding that a garage band can
expand their remit a little without sacrificing any of their elemental
power and thrust."
- John Mulvey, Uncut

"From rowdy stompers to soulful ballads—all sauced with a wailing organ
and punchy riffs—Reigning Sound’s Love and Curses in undeniably
romantic. And you can trust Cartwright is telling the truth. He knows.
You can hear it in his voice."
- Aaron Richter, Self-Titled Daily
*
" Cartwright revisits 1960s pop and soul sources. You can hear the
worried-mind volatility in his voice… and hey, you can hear his voice!
On the band's last studio album, 2004's Too Much Guitar, Cartwright
buried his vocals deep in a menacing onslaught that lived up to that
title, denying easy access to one of rock's best instruments. But in
Love and Curses he returns to the top of the mix, peppering his
delivery with howls and snarls that makes for an album full of reckless
urgency."
