Jun 3, 2014The music might be slightly quieter simply because it isn't amplified, but it's not any gentler than his usual stuff. By contrast, Osborne seems to be going out of his way to make these recordings as combustible as possible.

MagnetJun 18, 2014This Machine Kills Artists is definitely lengthier than need be, but if this album has an intended accomplishment, it's further illustrating the expanding range of Osborne's songwriting abilities. [No. 110, p.59]

The WireJul 14, 2014Without a doubt these are good songs, and Osborne's vocal is always ear grabbing. But I'd love to hear the full band versions they deserve. [Jun 2014, p.55]

Jun 2, 2014On the whole, Osborne turned a confusing detour into an interesting wrinkle and a worthwhile addition to his massive catalog.

Classic Rock MagazineDec 18, 2014At 17 tracks, it becomes a bit of a repetitive slog towards the end, but it's good to see that this old dog has just as much bite as ever when he strays. [Aug 2014, p. 209]

Jun 3, 2014Buzz’s riffing and attack give the songs enough personality to sound individual and prevent the album becoming an analogous mess.

May 30, 2014It is an interesting experiment, but realistically most listeners will struggle to get past the first couple of tracks before reaching for their trusty copy of Houdini.
