    Life Love & Hope
    It begins promisingly, with weighty guitar and measured vocals, before losing the plot completely, descending into a kitchen sink of confusion and ending up sounding like an incomplete demo. [Jan 2014, p.112]

    One More Light
    They’ve stripped away the guitars to the point where only trace elements remain. ... The whole thing makes Ed Sheeran sound like Extreme Noise Terror.

    Unleash the Love
    The lyrics are packed with so many trite clichés that you can’t help but wince, whether he’s wishing for world peace on Make Love Not War (which manages to make room for the Trump-supporting Love to thank the USA ‘and all the folks protecting us very day’), dredging up seafaring love metaphors on Too Cruel or fashioning sappy eco ballads like Only One Earth.

    Super Collider
    It's the culmination of four years during which Megadeth have continuously raised their game. [Jul 2013, p.92]

    Fashionably Late
    Ronnie Radke's lyrics are convincingly nasty. [Oct 2013, p.91]

    Return to Forever
    It’s 1984 forever for the Scorpions, a return to slick, semi-hard rock and power ballads.

    The Land That Time Forgot
    The humanity is palpable throughout his lyrics and delivery, and the album avoids preaching in favour of insightful storytelling, good humour and warmth. [Sep 2020, p.84]

    Death by Rock and Roll
    Death By Rock And Roll is their first attempt to claw back what they had. Fortunately it’s brilliant.
