    There’s a zip and kick to it, with big melodies (huge in the case of ‘Blk Stallion’) and clever turns of pace.

    With the track order shuffled entirely, it almost plays like a greatest hits album: Closer examination reveals cohesive new context for the collection, one that's more satisfying than anything we've heard from the trio before. [Mar 2014, p.88]

    It meets its pre-release hype head on, and comes away the winner.

    The record is overlong and the arrangements are a bit too familiar. Still, these brooding tracks are compelling as they merge into a coherent whole.

    ††† is a solid effort that stands on its own merit rather than simply cruising on the cultural cache of its members.

    While ††† may be on the same scale as Deftones, they’re not a replacement, and it stands to reason that Moreno can ascend to the heights of their previous work. But on †††, it’s like he never had wings.

    Definitely a welcome addition to Chino Moreno's perfect discography. It's electric, ominous, and even funky at points - one of the top albums of 2014.

Anyways, this is,in my opinion, best album release since Moby's Innocents.
