Dwarves – The Dwarves Take Back The Night (2018)

December 18, 2024

I’m not gonna lie, I did not have high hopes for this, but The Dwarves Take Back The Night really surprised me. It’s hardly original, but some of the later Dwarves records are abysmal. Not this one. The record hits harder, like everyone involved has had a shot in the arm. Musically, things lean more into thrash / crossover than ever before, and the production is a bit heavier too. Did we need another Dexter Holland guest spot? Perhaps not, but this is far from their worst album. A welcome surprise, at this point.
