    Great pop from a great band.

    "Meltdown" is a sturdy, well-written and (perpetually adolescent lyrics aside) mature addition to Ash's enduring and near-essential canon – ample reward for ten years' loyal support.
  3. The Guardian
    60
    A straight-ahead rock album that already sounds like a festival set list in waiting.
