Apr 29, 2014The Faint have finally hit upon the idea of letting all of those varying sounds simply collapse in on one another, only to arrive at an album that sounds the most like them, even if we’ve never quite heard it before.
-
MagnetMay 19, 2014A comeback triumph that exchanges the desiccated roboticism of its predecessor for the vital, maniac, seductively imperfect epic exuberance. [No. 109, p.55]
-
Apr 15, 2014It’s a fun album, an album that the world is better for having, but hardly something you hope other musicians hear and emulate.
-
Apr 9, 2014The lyrical content is the same paranoid, anti-establishment apocalypse they’ve been writing since Dance Macabre, and while the music is a shift back to the grime that was absent from Fasciinatiion, it’s still The Faint holding to their new wave revival.

May 23, 2014Every element dances on the verge of clipping or glitching, and The Faint's brand of controlled chaos holds the album together like a corset.

Apr 7, 2014A good seven years out of date, Doom Abuse is pure synth-pop mania, frequently teetering between unadulterated Trent Reznor pop brilliance and impressions of Skrillex driving a monster truck through a Savages gig in a video arcade.

Q MagazineMay 20, 2014The celestial keys and brooding bass of Lesson From The Darkness could be straight from the early '80s, but The Faint's mastery of their influences ensures Doom Abuse is defiantly their own creation. [Jun 2014, p.108]
