THE ONION A.V. CLUB: "There are obvious debts to bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Quicksand in Great Northern Guns' propulsive, shoulder-to-the-grind attack, but to call a band "emo" or "post-hardcore" these days is to basically write it off as another in a long line of mall-friendly pretenders, and this Austin group doesn't deserve such an ignoble fate. Between Jerid Morris' voice--which goes from a do-you-really-want-to-hurt-me waver to cathartic scream without either sounding like affectation-- and a watertight rhythm section, there's plenty here to recommend Great Northern Guns to any fan of aggressive rock, whatever label you want to slap on it. If you're still lamenting the loss of Recover, this may be your new favorite band."
