ReGen Magazine's review of "Tear Down the Walls"
"The Joy Thieves provide what are some of the best tracks on Tear Down the Walls, with Raymond Watts’ throaty baritone providing the appropriate slither to “Empty Spaces,” while Chris Connelly’s radiant and harmonious performance of “One of My Turns” is simply a delight; however, it is in I Ya Toyah’s presence on “Don’t Leave Me Now,” reversing the lyrics to be from the opposite perspective of the scorned and scornful wife, that the cover attains its maximum effectiveness."
