"Jet Black is still recovering from illness and the stand-in, Jim McAuley, is excellent. Actually, the entire band is excellent, individually and collectively, and I am struck by how well they play now compared to the 1970s."

"... it was fantastic to hear the superb musicianship of Black, JJ Burnel, Dave Greenfield and Baz Warne and great to see that they all seemed to be enjoying themselves just as much as the audience were."

Review: The Stranglers, Rock City
thisisnottingham.co.uk
"You wouldn't expect the arrival of a septuagenarian drummer to give a gig fresh impetus, but the much-loved Jet Black defied all his 74 years putting on a drumming master class, only punctured by a dreamy rendition of Golden Brown - surely one of the most majestic melodies George Harrison never wrote."

LIVE: The Stranglers @ Rock City [19/03/13]

"If this was good enough for the crowd, the encore pushed the crowd onto an extra level -who by now had knocked back their fair share of Newcastle brown – into the air like it really was the 1970’s all over."

"The Stranglers are indeed one hell of a class act, J.J. probably one of the best bass players out there. And they are still uncompromising. And still clearly love what they do after all these years. And they roll on."

"A few things, it was the Feel It Live tour, and bassist Jean Jacques Burnell decided we should feel the bass which with booming feedback left the chap in front of me, already with ear plugs in, grab his ears in pain ..."

"The Stranglers are a piece of history; a British institution. And tonight, they’ve more than lived up to that title."

"Surely this is against the rules. There’s no way this deep into a career a band can be peaking again. Yet here are The Stranglers, 40 years down the line delivering the best gigs I’ve seen them play in years of watching them."

SET LIST: THE STRANGLERS, ROUNDHOUSE, LONDON

"From the lumbering recognisable groove of Peaches through to modern classic Freedom Is Insane, the band have never sounded tighter."

"To play the outrageous ‘Bring On The Nubiles’ just before ‘Duchess’ was a wonderful touch"

"At times keyboardist Dave Greenfield, a Brighton boy himself, seemed on a different planet altogether, staring vacantly out into the audience while he tested the amps with searing sound effects"

"They played with an energy that belied the two remaining members' years. The newer material blended seamlessly with the old, and for every Golden Brown there was a Mercury Rising"

"Brighton boy Greenfield’s return to his home town. “He’s been eating rock and walking along the prom all day”"

"... the band played longer melodic numbers that veered off into prog rock meanderings, whilst never being dull or boring."

Review: The Stranglers - O2 Academy Leeds, 09/03
theyorker.co.uk
"Is this any more than a karaoke act designed to keep the Stranglers faithful happy? Quite honestly, no. The Stranglers, even without their singer, are still The Stranglers, and from what I saw tonight, it seems people still want more of The Stranglers."

Review: The Stranglers
oneandother.com
"Jet’s arrival was heralded by chants of his name as he leaped unfazed into one of The Stranglers’ most complex rhythmical songs, Genetix. Jet’s precision drumming, Dave Greenfield’s unrivalled key’s playing and the combination of JJ Burnel and Warne on guitar set the level of musicianship at a new high as they tore through hits Who Wants the World and Duchess."

"... since the departure of Hugh Cornwell in 1990 The Stranglers have remained stable and strong – their most recent album, 2012’s Giants, was an excellent return to a sound akin to that of their 1970s heyday"

"The spread of songs from the band’s 17 albums is breath taking and somehow they combine a sense of their own history with a bizarre sense of going forward"

"From the moment he came on stage, taking over the duties from the superb Jim Macaulay, the shouts from the audience were strong and full of love for the man who has given everything in the name of Stranglers."

REVIEW: The Stranglers, O2 Academy 07/03/13

"One of the great survivors of the late 1970s punk explosion, The Stranglers to this day remain an important and resonating band to catch live."
