They're at their best when they're at their harshest, with the grindcore attacks of Saintpeelers and Sovereign Through The Pines proving as exciting as this stuff gets. [12 Mar 2011, p.52]

While the progression through the bracing cinematic drama of Sleep Shake, the gorgeous neo-ballad Scared, the heads down industrial charge of Medic and the hauntingly climatic Hypoxia require a few listens to really gel in the listener's mind there is some truly stunning stuff here. [5 Feb 2011, p.51]

Funeral For A Friend have always been ordinary chaps with ordinary ambitions. Yet That masks something important: there is extraordinary heart in what they do. And there is much of that here. [21 Mar 2011, p.50]

There are few surprises on Beast but it is another superbly realised slab of dynamically raging noise. [12 Feb 2011, p.50]

Your appreciation of the album will depend much on whether you happen to like the way Adam writes: if you do, then this is a belter. If, however, you've grown tired of the same old songs, look elsewhere. [22 Jan 2011, p.50]

As Hardcore closes, it beats its chest too, the subtleties of the album's earlier songs unfurled into those wonderful dramas of old. [12 Feb 2011, p.52]

This most stylish and once troubled of bands sound like artists still in search of something new. And this new album is well worth the wait. [15 Jan 2010, p.52]

Occasionally this album is just as you might expect, raucous and raw, but elsewhere it is the work of people who seem unafraid to sound afraid. A gem. [6 Nov 2010, p.52]

Pinkerton still stands tall as a modern rock classic. [6 Nov 2010, p.51]

The rest of these songs weren't good enough to make it onto 2005's Make believe or 2008's Weezer (The Red Album), which says it all really. [6 Nov 2010, p.51]

Silliness and fun are very much the order of the day here so, if you want some depth to your music you'll be found wanting. [23 Oct 2010, p.51]
