DeBaser's review of Savage Times describes Hanni El Khatib's collection as politically engaged but musically inconsistent. The album's vintage, genre-mixing ambitions are noted, while its compilation nature produces a disconnected listening experience. Overall the reviewer judges the quality as mediocre.

For:Fans of garage/blues/indie rock, listeners interested in politically charged music, music critics.
