Separated from the narrative and visuals it's designed around, the music emanates an isolated, dissociated air, but that only adds to its jarring overall effect. [3 Dec 2012, p.52]- Kerrang!

This is a solid, talented and very decent record. But it lacks sparkle. It lacks charisma and personality. [12 Nov 2012, p.52]- Kerrang!

It lurches, as such compilations sometimes do, but those lurches, are from intimate to inviting, triumphant to introspective and funny to heartfelt. [14 Jan 2012, p.51]- Kerrang!

Les Voyages De L'Ame will surely stand unchallenged as the most ineffably beautiful record of 2012. [21 Jan 2012, p.54]- Kerrang!

This is an album that feels as much like a series of compelling stories as it does a collection of fine songs. [21 Jan 2012, p.53]- Kerrang!

They may not have subtlety in their arsenal but then again, with riffs this menacing, who needs it? [21 Jan 2012, p.52]- Kerrang!

It's the quirky structures and finely drawn lyrical observations that provide the real hooks here. [28 Jan 2012, p.53]- Kerrang!

As usual, Attack Attack! will polarize opinion but artistically and technically, this is a serious step up. [14 Jan 2012, p.52]- Kerrang!

Iron Balls Of Steel ultimately raises eyebrows more often than it does fists. [14 Jan 2012, p.51]- Kerrang!

This 11-song set is a good deal of fun to listen to. [14 Jan 2012, p.50]- Kerrang!

They're still aggressive, heavy and furious, but this new approach also makes them relevant, incisive and swaggering again. [10 Dec 2011, p.50]- Kerrang!

OOFP propels Robbins' melancholic take on post-hardcore to exciting new heights. [ 17 Dec 2011, p.52]- Kerrang!

By showcasing progressive metal in its truest, multi-dimensional form, it strides triumphant. [12 Nov 2011, p.54]- Kerrang!

Finally, this rock star has some rock worthy of the same name. [23 Jul 2011, p.50]- Kerrang!

The results equates to a highly original sound that tends to be loved by blokes and blokes only. [12 Nov 2011, p.53]- Kerrang!

Remastered, here, and packaged alongside demos, radio sessions, alternative mixes and a live DVD, it shows the breadth of the band's early ambitions. [3 Dec 2011, p.50]- Kerrang!

This Means War and Bottoms Up are such generic rock "anthems" that they could have been releases in any decade since the '80s. The lyrics, meanwhile, seem to date from the '70s, possibly the 1870s. [3 Dec 2011, p.51]- Kerrang!

A powerful, soul-striating record that needs and deserves attentive ears. [26 Nov 2011, p.53]- Kerrang!

The result is a bouncy, punk-fuelled album that's entertaining enough if throwaway in the extreme. [12 Nov 2011, p.53]- Kerrang!

The result is a treat for diehard fans only and entirely dispensable for anyone else. [12 Nov 2011, p.54]- Kerrang!

Basically a single with extra padding, Recorrupted is nothing more than a forgettable stopgap release. [19 Nov 2011, p.51]- Kerrang!

An EP that's more than a stopgap, Polymers ... refines the ex-McClusky men's sound without making it boring. [Nov. 19, 2011 p.52]- Kerrang!

What unites all six fantastically constructed pieces on this album is the sound of a band delivering on their potential, and then some. [Nov. 19, 2011 p. 52]- Kerrang!

Good lord, what a voice Chris Cornell has - rich, bruised, defiant, fragile and strong, be bends it to his will. On Songbook ... [his voice] carries the album as it stands starkly against his simple guitar backing. [Nov. 19, 2011p. 51]- Kerrang!
