While what's here is good, there could have been more to get your teeth into. At eight songs in length, this collection feels a little slight. [17 Nov 2018, p.69]- Kerrang!

The unreleased and rare recordings here make this a brilliant salute to a much-missed hero. [17 Nov 2018, p.70]- Kerrang!

The resulting tracks are notably more upbeat than you might expect from a band so normally noted for their sad-lad overtones. [10 Nov 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

High-wire riffs toe the kine between noise and pop, while Patrick's sprayed observations are kerosene on this already combustible mix. [10 Nov 2018, p.55- Kerrang!

An album that's by turns gut-wrenching, hauntingly desolate and emotionally devastating. [3 Nov 2018, p.57]- 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!

This is not a giant sonic leap from her day job. Where it differs, though, is in the breadth and feel of the material. ... Lyrically, Laura is on blistering form. [10 Nov 2018, p.54]- Kerrang!

Once again, it's a sonic petrol bomb that makes you feel like you've been set on fire, and once again The Prodigy have proved nobody does it better. [3 Nov 2018, p.59]- Kerrang!

Through the Wall plays more like a scrappy, occasionally impressive side project. [27 Oct 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

A pleasingly aggressive, frequently trash-happy affair that has plenty of life to it. [29 Sep 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

Thankfully, the band approached this follow-up with exactly the same extravagant, OTT mindset that made Everybody Wants such a riot. [Oct 27 2018, p.53]- Kerrang!

It's another masterful, kaleidoscopic trip from your favourite freaked-out uncle. [13 Oct 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

They might have over-egged the acoustic balladry here, leading to their airiness unbalancing the syncopated beefiness elsewhere, but it's delivered so slickly and confidently that few fans will care. [20 Oct 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

It's a record that lives up tot he hype preceding it without seeming like it's trying to, and that shows off this youthful quartet as a truly skilled band, musically wise beyond their years. [20 Oct 2018, p.53]- Kerrang!

Compounding shades of this all-encompassing bleakness and newfound furore to an already formidable plateau of emo, indie and shoegaze could just about make it mewithoutYou's finest work to date. [20 Oct 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

Some of the year's catchiest most accessible alt. pop tunes of the year speaks volumes of the level upon which they're operating here. [13 Oct 2018, p.54]- Kerrang!

Vocal contributions from a slew of guests keep things unpredictable on a set which often feels like a multi-genre playlist. ... Time spent getting your head around this craziness is time well spent. [6 Oct 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

I Loved You At Your Darkest offers conclusive proof that their Satanic majesty remains intact, even as they embark on their most ambitious artistic expression to date. [6 Oct 2018, p.53]- Kerrang!

The sound of a band who are wide awake again, not just finding their feet, but coming out confidently swinging. [29 Sep 2018, p.53]- Kerrang!

It's diverting stuff, even for those who don't have even the vaguest idea of the plot. [29 Sep 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

It's a voyage down the rabbit hole, and in there nothing is what it seems. [29 Sep 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

It's Arabot's noiser moments that are their most gleeful here. [1 Sep 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

Their sound remains a punk-informed take on the abandon of '60s garage rock, a well-trodden style which they've nonetheless made their own. It turns out that shitty times make for an intriguing album. [29 Sep 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!

Here is something far looser and more fun, while still being brilliantly crafted and played with absolute power. [15 Sep 2018, p.53]- Kerrang!

Good Charlotte have written an album for the modern era: honest, powerful and, most importantly, real. [22 Sep 2018, p.54]- Kerrang!

A deliberate and delightful mess of punk and rock'n'roll out to deliver a black eye, Master Volume ends with the almost beautiful strains of Evil Side which buzz with an infectious, if troubled, vitality. But rather than falling apart, The Dirty Nil are simply solid. [15 Sep 2018, p.55]- Kerrang!
