    A (sad-hearted) joy from start to end. [17 Nov 2018, p.71]
    • Kerrang!
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    While what's here is good, there could have been more to get your teeth into. At eight songs in length, this collection feels a little slight. [17 Nov 2018, p.69]
    • Kerrang!
    • 49 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    9
    The resulting tracks are notably more upbeat than you might expect from a band so normally noted for their sad-lad overtones. [10 Nov 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Through the Wall plays more like a scrappy, occasionally impressive side project. [27 Oct 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A pleasingly aggressive, frequently trash-happy affair that has plenty of life to it. [29 Sep 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    They might have over-egged the acoustic balladry here, leading to their airiness unbalancing the syncopated beefiness elsewhere, but it's delivered so slickly and confidently that few fans will care. [20 Oct 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Compounding shades of this all-encompassing bleakness and newfound furore to an already formidable plateau of emo, indie and shoegaze could just about make it mewithoutYou's finest work to date. [20 Oct 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's diverting stuff, even for those who don't have even the vaguest idea of the plot. [29 Sep 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's a voyage down the rabbit hole, and in there nothing is what it seems. [29 Sep 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's Arabot's noiser moments that are their most gleeful here. [1 Sep 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Their sound remains a punk-informed take on the abandon of '60s garage rock, a well-trodden style which they've nonetheless made their own. It turns out that shitty times make for an intriguing album. [29 Sep 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Finally adding a bassists to PD's ranks has robbed them of some of their personality. [8 Sep 2018, p.53]
    • Kerrang!
    • 57 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Rituals is a bold, yet ultimately auspicious step forward. [4 Aug 2018, p.53]
    • Kerrang!
    • 64 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A record that is surprisingly flat and unremarkable. [21 Jul 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 81 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Proverbial Bellow could almost be all that this chapter comprised and not irk their faithful. The other three tracks deliver too, but were destined to always pale by comparison. [14 Jul 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Have You Considered Punk Music feels like a missed opportunity to drip the verbal shields and let people all the way in. [30 Jun 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It feels harsh to criticise a Panic! At The Disco record for being bold and exploring its brash nature to the fullest. ... But there's no getting around the fact this one feels like it could have done with a defter touch and some sonic restraint. [30 Jun 2018, p.53]
    • Kerrang!
    • 55 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Justice For None is an album that delivers Five Finger Death Punch's wallop adequately. 19 May 2018, p.53]
    • Kerrang!
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Black Labyrinth is an interesting, if flawed distraction from this icon--though it doesn't justify a 10-year wait. [26 May 2018, p.53]
    • Kerrang!
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A couple of tracks two-thirds of the way through could probably have been left on the side of the road, but Attention Attention concludes just the way it started--with defiant power, immense vocals and thunderous, thirst-quenching melody. [5 May 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It might not be the Melvins at their most essential, but their status as rock's quirkiest heroes remains irrefutable. [Apr 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 47 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    America is an odd album, one that requires patience to unlock. [7 Apr 2018, p.54]
    • Kerrang!
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Erase Me is not a perfect record, but it is a solid statement from a band who believe they still gave unfinished business to attend to. [7 Apr 2018, p.53]
    • Kerrang!
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Used Future comes embedded in a murderous groove and with enough trippy melodies to give off a genuinely psychedelic edge. [17 Mar 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 60 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    This second self-titled album in a row feels like a new start for Stone Temple Pilots, and they're clearly determined to make it count. [17 Mar 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Admittedly, they do occasionally disappear up their own collective backside, with too much noodling trying your patience, but their ambition and scope show no signs of diminishing. [10 Mar 2018, p.55]
    • Kerrang!
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Wait for Love sees them largely sticking with what worked last time. [24 Feb 2018, p.51]
    • Kerrang!
    • 57 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    A largely drab album. [10 Feb 2018, p.51]
    • Kerrang!
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Epic, bonkers album. [3 Feb 2018, p.51]
    • Kerrang!
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Scattershot. [20 Jan 2018, p.53]
