    It’s a 43-minute blast of ingenious, future-proof rock, virtually flawless but from a band that--importantly--are still flawed like the rest of us. This is the best album you’ll hear this year and more significantly, it’s the most important rock album of the decade.

    By stabbing in the dark and boldly going where they've never gone before, they've made something genuinely great. [12 Sep 2015, p.48]

    Ambitious, grand, emotional and complex, it’s a record that demands the band be seen in a new light.

    This record is a set of huge songs that’ll cement their place at the top of rock’s ranks and so much more.

    By entering the mainstream one limb (album) at a time, Bring Me the Horizon are merely reaping what they've sown, and longtime fans should already feel acclimated to the water.

    Lyrically, the album is poignant and clever, though it does occasionally falter, as on the grungy nu-metal number "Happy Song."

    Oh No is more dance than nu-metal, replete with trance breakdown. If BMTH really do want to bring nu-metal back to life, this approach could be just the defibrillator they need.

This is the only album of BMTH that don't have some boring tracks, guys sound really energetically, even with that fact, that they start make more easy and mass oriented music. It is just an album that took band to the next level of popularity. Don't matter, how light they went, they did actually awesome music on TTS.… Expand

I've seen many bands, such as Bullet for my Valentine, lose their edge with their changing sound, but this is one of the few cases where a band's style changing is only beneficial. Every song on the album has the power of a single, they are each unique, and have their own story to tell. This is the album I never knew I wanted.… Expand

This album is okay at best - an enjoyable listen if you want something a little softer than Bring Me's previous albums. However, there is very little new here and an obvious attempt at radio friendliness permeates the album - hints of DON BROCO are evident - and it feels as if they crafted this album to be played back to back on Kerrang rather than for the love of music.… Expand

It has a few good songs and i especially enjoy "Drown" and "Follow You", i think these are very good songs. And i don't wanna bash on them for being a bit more commercial now, i don't give a damn about that. Its just dull and boring music, that is mostly not put together very well. They kind of **** up by trying something new.… Expand
