In a two-star review of Van Fleet’s sophomore album, NME wrote that “despite the abundance of material provided over the past few years, ‘The Battle at Garden’s Gate’ is a mixed bag of heavy metaphor and lazy observation.”
During an interview with Heavy Consequence late last year, bassist Sam Kiszka said of the album: “It’s conceptually going back to almost the days in the garage, with the raw energy of the sound.”
The Van Fleet bassist went on to reveal that the album will expand on the band’s sound “because we’re the best musicians we’ve ever been.” Kiszka’s comments echo those he made about the upcoming album in a September episode of the Kyle Meredith With … podcast. During that interview, Kiszka said “[the band is] bringing our heads back to that garage time” and “making [the album] exciting and raw and energetic.”
