Feb 10, 2014††† is a solid effort that stands on its own merit rather than simply cruising on the cultural cache of its members.

Alternative PressFeb 20, 2014With 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]

Feb 10, 2014The record is overlong and the arrangements are a bit too familiar. Still, these brooding tracks are compelling as they merge into a coherent whole.

Feb 12, 2014While ††† 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.

Feb 13, 2014For the majority of its running time, Crosses is a slow, steady and comforting listen, very rarely raising above anything more than a laid back ebb and flow.

Sep 24, 2015Definitely 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.
