Despite only clocking in at 42 minutes it feels like it drags on for ages. And the copious use of samples to remind you it’s an industrial record gets tiring.- Kerrang!

Overall you might have to go back to 1989's The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste to find Ministry sounding quite as vital and engaged as they do here. [10 Mar 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

The album just needs a standout moment among Blood Red Shoes' moods to make these songs genuinely memorable. [1 Mar 2014, p.54]- Kerrang!

As a neon-lit tonic to Drones, Simulation Theory is bang on the money. But as an exploration of a new frontier, it's a genuinely exciting musical adventure in its own right. [10 Nov 2018, p.53]- Kerrang!

It might well be that The Darkness' finest moments are not behind them, after all. [30 May 2015, p.54]- Kerrang!

blink's most musically ambitious, yet spiritually comprehensive, album to date. [2 Jul 2016, p.50]- Kerrang!

Radkey's greatest strength is sounding urgent but never rushed. The greatest weakness is that they wear their influences like face tattoos. [22 Aug 2015, p.52]- Kerrang!

With only the occasional chorus in English, singing along is tricky for us gaijin, but melodically these might be Rivers' catchiest songs since The Green Album. That makes this a hit in anyone's language. [25 May 2013, p.53]- Kerrang!

That first album wasn't a one-off, and here The Temperance Movement have once again proved themselves masters of their craft. [2 Jan 2016, p.52]- Kerrang!

Bar the addition of piano on a few tracks, I'm With You is not so much a fresh start as a wonderful, trouble-free return to the familiar, laid back West Coast rock terrain of their back-to-back classics, Californication and 2002's By The Way. [27 Aug 2011, p.50]- Kerrang!

The overall result being that Dananananaykroyd have finally made actual songs rather than the exercises in unpredictability they have in the past. [11 Jun 2011, p.51]- Kerrang!

The production is big on bluster and stadium-sized punch, but, sadly all of the passion's also been squeezed out here. [19 Feb 2012, p.51]- Kerrang!

The Industrialist doesn't quite live up to the band's former glories. [[9 Jun 2012, p.53]- Kerrang!

Greetings From California is an album that shines a light on The Madden Brothers' mature side. [13 Sep 2014, p.53]- Kerrang!

This album's consistent quality should easily re-establish Evanescence back on the rock map in 2011. [1 Oct 2011, p.52]- Kerrang!

This is an album packed not only with exuberant and quirkily innovative songs--songs that are busy with bounce and swerve--but also come equipped with a sense of energy and defiance that suggests that their authors are not going to give up simply because the terrain underfoot has become unsteady. [Sept 17 2011, p.52]- Kerrang!

With its emphasis on freedom, this is the kind of stuff beloved of American who are heavily armed, piss-drunk,or both. The rest of the world need not apply, however. [13 Nov 2010, p.52]- Kerrang!

Not Your Kind of People is a wonderful album full of something Garbage have never really possessed before: humanity. [May 2012, p.53]- Kerrang!

While World On Fire isn't the finest thing Slash has, or will ever, put his name to, it still shows an iconic talent doing what he does very well. [6 Sep 2014, p.52]- Kerrang!

Like the sonic equivalent of a Rorschach test, each track is riddled with vast soundscapes begging to be explored and made sense of. [2 May 2015, p.54]- Kerrang!

When they're good, they are astounding, and almost impossible to adequately describe. When they miss the mark, though, this lot grate. [7 Mar 2015, p.54]- Kerrang!

On the whole, though, while this is flawless and expertly crafted, it's also pretty unsatisfying. [26 Mar 2011, p.52]- Kerrang!

Occasionally one song simple bleeds into another. ... On the whole, however, Underworld bears the mark of a band redefining who they are and putting themselves back on steady footing after a wobble. [6 Jan 2018, p.52]- Kerrang!

The result is a claustrophobic classic that sharpens the focus of what is possible in the name of high-minded rock. [6 Jun 2015, p.50]- Kerrang!

Nightmare marks the point which the Huntington Beach crew put away childish things and became men. [24 Jul 2010, p.50]- Kerrang!

Apocalyptic Love, the album, is at its best when Slash is operating within the team. [9 Jun 2012, p.52]- Kerrang!
