A tight, aggressive collection of hardcore-tinged punk tunes, Satiate captures Avail at their prime. Thanks to a bare-bones production and subtle -- though not indulgent -- shifts from the standard four-chord punk anthems, tracks such as "March" and "Pinned Up" sound nearly as good as they do during the group's infamous live shows. There's even a semi-power ballad ("Hope") seguéing easily into an all-out protest anthem ("Connection"). Few bands could pull off such a schizophrenic approach, but Avail's unpretentious effort make it seem almost easy. ~ Brian Raftery, All Music Guide
