Critical reception

The album received positive reviews from critics. Dom Lawson of Classic Rock stated that "Living the Dream is as strong as anything the band have produced in two, maybe three decades."[3] Martin Popoff of Goldmine said the album "finds the band putting aside any of their recent technological or stylistic nods to modernity in exercise of a defiance that leaves only pure and timeless Heep jubilance".[4]

gollark: I need that, though.
gollark: I see.
gollark: Newer stuff might be horrifically complicated, but at least it's kind of partly designed with security in mind and we have ASLR and Rust and MMUs and whatever.
gollark: Oh, because THOSE have VERY robust software.
gollark: My phone still hasn't been patched for a very unspecific critical-level vulnerability in some Qualcomm "closed-source components", which is very !!FUN!!.
