BLABBERMOUTH.NET has published a review of "Give Me Dirt", the eighth studio album from Canadian sludge-punk band Cancer Bats, awarding it 8.5 out of 10. Reviewer Dom Lawson praises the record for staying true to the band's raw, unpolished ethos two decades on from their 2006 debut, "Birthing The Giant", describing it as one of their most electrifying and possibly best releases.

The 11-track album, produced by Kurt Ballou of Converge, features guest appearances from Nate Newton, Chris Creswell, Brooklyn Doran and Efrem Schulz, and is noted as less chaotic than 2015's Ross Robinson-produced "Searching For Zero" while remaining among the heaviest material the band have recorded. The review highlights tracks including "Stay Stuck", "Don't Trip" and "Prognosis" for their riff-driven intensity, comparing the album's dissonance favourably to bands like Melvins and Chat Pile.
