AMG Review of No Rest for the Wicked
Jason Smith
All Music GuideAfter NMA's debut album, the band's next move was to sign on with EMI, and with some experience under their belts and major-label backing, the group deveolped their sound and filled it out. No Rest for the Wicked is the result. More overdubs on guitar are evident, as are reverb effects on the voice and drums. Comparisons can be made with Killing Joke's sound. Sullivan writes some of his best rock songs for this release including "Ambition," "No Rest," and "Drag it Down," and he introduces a softer, more accoustic side to the group with "Better than Them." Indeed there is no filler on the album.
