Versus God is a full-length album by Dillinger Four, released in 2000.[7][2]
Critical reception
The Riverfront Times wrote that "not since the Monkees has a band been this seriously subversive about the music they play, themselves and the industry they work for, and that's a compliment to both the Dillingers and the Monkees."[8] The Reno Gazette Journal praised the "sweet lead vocals and barking backups, sensitive neo-folk and blistering rallying cries, non-sequitur samples and experiments and 4-to-the-floor high-speed anthems."[9]
In a 2020 interview, Matt Pryor of The Get Up Kids called Versus God "arguably one of the greatest Punk Rock albums."[10]
