Reception

Emily Savage of Jweekly described the album as "Simple, straight-forward, unabashed scroll-loving lyrics. All yelled at maximum volume of course."[1] Alex Suskind of The Forward said, "Moshiach Oi! has found a divine balance of religion and rock [and] uses the traditional punk sound of raucous guitars and boisterous vocals to explore Jewish ideals and values."[2] Patrick Aleph of Jewcy summarized Better Get Ready as "a blistering punk rock siddurim that effortlessly ties together Black Flag and Rambam, 7 Seconds and the Rebbe, The Casualties and the Kabballists."[3]
