  1. Mojo

    Old Growth has the primeval, fuzzed-out power of the trio's earlier albums, but with a new clarity and groove. [Mar 2008, p.113]

  2. Drowned In Sound
    80
    Stylistically there is a different kind of freedom (there is even a nod to garage rock on ‘The Queen Of All Returns’) that seems less about affectation or indulgence and more about adhering to the spirit of each individual song, making for harder-fought but longer lasting rewards.
  3. The Guardian
    80
    In full flight of one of their frequent psychedelic crescendos, Dead Meadow are among rock's most eloquently deafening joys.
  4. Under The Radar
    60
    Old Growth never quite achieves the glory of its predecessor. [Winter 2008, p.81]
