Kerrang!Jun 29, 2012Apocalyptic Love, the album, is at its best when Slash is operating within the team. [9 Jun 2012, p.52]
-
MojoJun 25, 2012Carolina's use of a talk box a la Frampton stuck in this listener's craw, but elsewhere the urgency and uncensored filth of Slash's playing is a joy. [Jul 2012, p.82]
-
May 22, 2012This one is cohesive and feels like a band affair, feels like an album, feels like it has the chemistry Velvet Revolver frustratingly didn't quite have but a certain other band had once upon a time when Slash was in that crew.
-
May 22, 2012Apocalyptic Love is at heart a collection of lean, high-octane rock-and-roll tunes built to be blasted out of open-top sports cars or, more suitably, open-air stadiums.
-
Jun 20, 2012A solid if not spectacular release from the king of wail.
-
Jun 14, 2012Pretty good but never outstanding.
-
Jun 12, 2012In reality, [the album] is another sampling of ridiculous guitar riffs, and for Slash, it's a way to keep playing at a level he can dominate. Is it a new chapter in his career? No. It's just a continuation of previous chapters. But maybe that's OK.
-
May 22, 2012Apocalyptic Love never tries too hard, so it winds up satisfying on its own limited scale.
-
May 22, 2012Slash and Kennedy rely on formula rather than chemistry and yield some thin songs tucked into the record's second half.
-
May 23, 2012There's potential here but it's sadly unrealized.
-
Jun 18, 2012Best avoided if you're not a Guns N' Roses completist.
-
May 24, 2012Each of the album's thirteen tracks passes by without any fuss or fight; every song blending into one long blob of grey matter that leaves such little impression in spite of repeated listens.
-
Q MagazineOct 12, 2012A load of rubbish. [Jul 2012, p.110]
