Trouble the Water (album)

Trouble the Water is the third full-length studio album by American hardcore punk band Show Me the Body, released by Loma Vista Recordings on October 28, 2022.

[4] In Kerrang!, Luke Morton rated this album 4 out of 5, distinguishing the band from other hardcore acts, summing up "although it might not set your mosh muscles alight like the coffins on its cover, SMTB have improved their genre-exploring recipe with deeper flavours, keeping you coming back for more".

[5] Adlan Jackson of Pitchfork Media rated this work a 7.8 out of 10, calling it "adventurous" and noting recurring themes of aggression in gentrification, violence, and war.

[6] Andrew Spiess of PopMatters rated Trouble the Water an 8 out of 10, calling the band "admirable" and "as thoughtful and provocative as they are productive, as angry as they are respectful, [with] music and community-building is their chosen mode of focusing tension".

[7] Editors of Stereogum chose this for Album of the Week, with critic James Rettig writing that the music may be "corny", but it is "also impossibly effective, an alchemical combination of potent, apocalyptic sounds".
