“A wonderful new chapter… The world may be on fire, but at least we have Black Lips.” The Line Of Best Fit

“Simply masters in their field” NME

“A record of joyous honky tonk anarchism” Stereoboard

“The band are at their best” Norman Records

“Black Lips have shown remarkable longevity” Uncut

“America’s least predictable punk band” Playboy

“The aggression is still there, it’s just channeled differently. They’re still provocative but in this case, the provocation is JOY” NPR All Songs Considered

“Black Lips sound revitalised” Stereogum

“Dirty, raw and distinctly alive” Paste

“A great true modern country-garage rock record” Louder Than War

“Country-rock hasn’t sounded this weird since The Legendary Stardust Cowboy jumped into his riding boots” DIY

“Obtuse lo-fi garage rock pouring it out on a killer country record”  Popmatters

“Black Lips can write a decent country melody” Allmusic

“With twelve tracks that air much closer to the world of country than anything the band has released previously, Sing In A World That’s Falling Apart allows you to do just that” Uproxx

“The band has been born anew beyond the veil of country-rock. The gamble works and the twang sits well in their wheelhouse” Raven Sings The Blues

“The band has spent the last two decades combining garage rock, soul, pop, lo-fi country and punk into a chewing-tobacco-flavoured-music stew” Riff Magazine

“Sing in A World That’s Falling Apart résume l’Amérique dans ce qu’elle a de plus improbable, fascinante et attachante. Celle des Black Lips.”  Rolling Stone

“Une country folle baignée d’un accent bien sudiste mêlée à un cocktail sans âge et euphorique d’hymnes flower pop, de sons psychés et de rock sans cesse réinventé.” Sélection Fip

“Une grande réussite” Rock & Folk

“De la musique country-punk, des incursions de cuivre, de la prostitution masculine, des mecs vulgos et une gouaille de roman pulp à faire passer Kinky Friedman et Charles Bukowski pour Barbara Cartland. Dans un monde qui s’écroule, Black Lips fait figure de grand orchestre du Titanic.” Les Inrocks

“Un traité de rock country comme il n’est pas commun d’en entendre de nos jours” Mowno

“Des mélodies touchantes et des moments volontairement outrés, des ballades, dylanesques aux textes étranges, des chevauchées hasardeuses dans la nuit et de faux hommages tordus” Ouest-France

“Ein beherztes “Fuck off” an Konventionen” Piranha

“Sehr überzeugend” RadioEins

“Una genialidad” Mondo Sonoro

“Un disco realmente bueno” RTVE, Radio 3, El Sotano

“Un trabajo de madurez” El Diario

“El mejor álbum de su carrera” Rockdelux

“I veterani del garage rock di atlanta fanno saltare il banco, con un lavoro inatteso, fuori dalle regole, ma pienamente nelle loro corde” Rockerilla

“Unici e inimitabili” Classic Rock

“Una vitalità inedita” XL Republicca

“I Black Lips sono la dimostrazione che il rock’n’roll non è morto” Rolling Stone
