"...Despite its musical brevity, Worldwide is the wordiest batch of songs Tramel has ever written. After years of hearing fans scream lyrics back at her, the vocalist fine tuned her phrasing to champion the importance of cheering yourself on, learning how to use your voice, and seizing the benefits of pressure before it squishes you flat. “Where did all these words come from? Were they borrowed from someone?” Tramel wonders in “Guard Dog,” as if stunned by her own poetic license. By letting herself go long, though, Tramel finds a new way to inject Snooper’s songs with unpredictable pathways while the rhythms otherwise stay locked in a groove.

What happens to all that reclaimed time? Snooper wind it around their shoulders like arcade tickets, march up to the prize counter, and cash it in for an album-ending psych-rock blowout. “Relay” switches from a gritty rock song to a sassy riff immersed in fuzz. It moves cleanly into the four-minute closer “Subdivison”—sprawling for egg punk—that embarks on a heady, rhythm section-focused exodus akin to the driving garage rock of Osees. During the song’s claustrophobic extended jam, Snooper find a new side of themselves willing to breathe mid-song to build tension. Recorded with John Congleton, marking the band’s first time working with a studio producer, Worldwide fortifies Snooper’s sound by forcing the stiff loops of a drum machine to warp under the weight of their ricocheting guitars. Studio time didn’t kill the punk band. It granted them space to play faster and looser without losing any of the fun."       - Pitchfork
