Although others may have gained ground on the band's sound, these three are still miles ahead of the curve. - Baltimore City Paper
Over the course of 16 years, four proper albums, two compilations, a mega DVD retrospective and more than a little word-of-mouth legend-making among music fans, Harvey Milk has both tickled the rock funny-bone of fans seeking a quick, riff-ready fix and blown the noggins off others with heavy-as-the-Earth, glacially-paced compositions. - Athens Flagpole
Inexplicably, one of the '90s finest heavy rock bands returns right where they left off, constructing an album of power ballads about love, war, aging, and loss. - Dusted
After making their auspicious but notoriously underexposed debut with 1994's My Love Is Higher Than Your Assessment Of What My Love Could Be, Athens (GA) dirge lords Harvey Milk recorded two more full-lengths (1995's Courtesy And Good Will Towards Men and 1997's The Pleaser ) before going tits up in 1998 in a fit of nuptials and child-rearing.
Reintroduced to the underground at large through reissues, live DVDs and whatnot, The Milk reformed to unleash Special Wishes upon the feverishly lactating public, which has been lactating feverishly ever since. Which is to say that the Milk — as they themselves like to say—have “not” been “canceled due to lack of interest yet.”
Fast forward to the here and, like, now, and Harvey Milk are celebrating their own renaissance by lauding the virtues of The Best Game In Town. Spearheaded by the alternately burly and angelic vocal stylings of Milk mastermind Creston Spiers, The Best Game In Town. is both tumultuous and grueling, resonating with the glorious slow-motion radiance of Total Dirge Power. In layman's terms: Yet another classic. Oh, and did we mention that they've since been joined by Thrones legend Joe Preston? Well, they totally have.
