Enkele recensies over hun jongste album "Given To The Wild" geven je al een idee : 

“It’s an entrancing adventure – to see a band we’ve loved from the start grasp their potential and reach so far is inspiring by itself. That "the given to the wild" is so beautiful makes it all the sweeter”, NME

“From start to finish, ‘Given To The Wild’ is a truly wonderful record. Impressively diverse but united by a strain of quintessentially Maccabeean hopeless hopefulness, it’s an outpouring of both technical brilliance and affective emotion that thrives in its sheer humanity”, THE FLY

Whether Given To The Wild provides the hoped-for kick up the festival billings this summer remains to be seen, but its makers are right to be proud of it. If only all bands had the guts and honesty of The Maccabees, maybe they’d get round to making third records as good as this”, BBC
