“Riding a tide of youthful energy, 'The Great and The Good' is delivered with infectious enthusiasm and fizz. It even features a break for some hand-clap friendly drumbeats and a crowd-pleasing "whooooa-whoooooa" gang vocal that's guaranteed to give any live audience a vocal chord workout. 3/5”

Max Raptor on shout4music

Will Ray

I pin this badge upon my chest' hollers lead singer Will Ray half a dozen times, before direct and confrontational rock number ‘The Great And The Good' bursts into life. ‘Conscious exists now even in the wicked' screams the chorus and these two messages are repeated throughout! Along the punkier end of American rock that seems to be developing well on this side of the pond, Max Raptor follow on a similar vein to Green Day. ‘The Great And The Good' is a single full of youthful exuberance, a pokey little rock number that would have any respectable mosh pit chockfull of sweaty limbs, and is certainly worth being accidently elbowed in the larynx for. The cover has a suited figure with a dinosaur's head - a great logo to have at your disposal and well worth a t-shirt! This is dynamic stuff from the Derby rockers, without having too much to sink your teeth into. 7.5/10
