Delusions of Grandeur' sees Thumper in a reflective light as they evaluate their position in the wider world and consider the importance of other people's perceptions. They question authenticity with respect to success and charge forward in the battle against pretentiousness. There's no denying that these themes are self-involved and heady. Still, Thumper carry it off effortlessly as the record swings like a pendulum between a light-hearted and playful tone and one that is also serious, delving deep into their psyche. Overall, the album is delightfully moody, with distortion at every twist and turn. Fiery riffs sing throughout the body of work, and psychedelic sounds creep in as much as delicious 21st-century indie-rock does getting swept up by Thumper's explosive energy. They show no shame in writing catchy songs whilst still delivering ample fuzz.
