Thirty years on from the release of their earth-jolting, trouble-divining self-titled debut, Killing Joke show no signs of either mellowing or cracking a smile. [Sept. 25, 2010, p. 51]

All the usual COF ingredients--the abrasive vocals, the dexterous buzzsaw riffage, the furiously prop propulsive drumming--are present and correct, but here they're channeled into more streamlined songs while the more melodic elements are often pushed to the fore. [23 Oct 2010, p.50]

This is still towering, hazy, stoner metal--it's just shaped with more craft than once before and is therefore far more interesting. [16 Oct 2010, p.50]

Whether you love or hate the aggressive verse/pop chorus dynamic, it's hard to deny that, when they take flight, All That Remains do so in stunning style. [16 Oct 2010, p.53]

It's an album that draws on blues and gospel alongside atmospheric art-rock to end up somewhere intriguing, unnerving and frequently overwhelming. [16 Oct 2010, p.52]

Songs For Singles has a throwaway feel, albeit one with a lot of juddering, earth-shaking weight behind it. [25 Sep 2010, p.52]

If you want hits, there's already a better Best Of available--1997's A-Sides--while if you want a rarities album, this isn't it. [2 Oct 2010, p.51]

While bleakness is certainly prominent throughout, this album has many different shades and it is these contrasts that make it so vital. It's an album that bursts with ambition, and that Bring Me The Horizon pull it off so powerfully further confirms their greatness. [25 Sep 2010, p.50]

With its warm production and perfect pacing The Dissent Of Man is a fitting way to celebrate this band's 30th birthday, and their continued, even elevated, relevance. [18 Sep 2010, p.56]

Invented is a return to the creative peaks of yore. It's a record rich with twinkling sonic subtleties, timeless melodies and characteristically layered, epic tunes. [25 Sep 2010, p.52]

This is a terrific album, a rich, sweeping 12-song set that features more potential hit singles than you can swing a pickaxe at. [18 Sep 2010, p.57]

It's an easier to admire than to love. [18 Sep 2010, p.58]

Grinderman 2 proves that this bunch of hirsute, middle-aged reprobates are making some of the most unsettling-yet-addictive rock music of the age. [25 Sep 2010, p.52]

An album of blues covers that's beautifully mellow and endearingly warm. [25 Sep 2010, p.52]

However much it lacks the crunch and thrust of classic Helmet albums like Meantime or Betty, though, Seeing Eye Dog is still a fine addition to the band's catalogue. [4 Sep 2010, p.52]
