Feb 15, 2012Although not their best, this is still a solid blues rock record from The uber cool Kills. Real music you can dance too. The band are on great form here and show no signs of relinquishing their hold on their ice cool rock crown. Heart is a Beating Drum and Damned if She Do are the highlights for me.

May 9, 2011The Kills are at it again. They've gotten darker than their previous work, and I'd say its turned out a good sound. This isn't Midnight Boom (their best album - easily IMO), but it still showcases Alison as the baddedst chick in rock n' roll.

Apr 9, 2011I think its really awesome actually, you can sense some influence from dead weather in this darker album, The kills never disappoint, i think that Midnight Boom was their best album, but this one is pretty close to it, songs like future starts slow, nail in my coffin or teh last goodbye are an incredible composition of music and lyrics, thanks for another great album from the kills!

Apr 5, 2011Blood Pressures is not their best album (I'd say that distinction goes to Midnight Boom) but for those of us who can't enough Mosshart in our lives, this album should fill the void until the Dead Weathers next album.

MojoMay 17, 2011Blood pressures doesn't quite take charge of their joint destiny as decisively as it needs to, the cohesive chain smoking cool do their earlier albums diluted by sudden shifts in tempo and mood. [May 2011, p.104]

Q MagazineMay 17, 2011What was often missing was much in the way of engaging, nuanced songwriting. Four alums in, though, there are clear signs of progress. [May 2011, p.121]

Apr 19, 2011Bluesier and less electronic than its predecessor, "Blood Pressures" is by far the Kills' most accomplished and diverse set yet.
