Oct 7, 2014Every one of these songs is blessed with that special something that the band impress on their songs.

Kerrang!Nov 24, 2014Brilliant, Melvins, brilliant. [18 Oct 2014, p.54]

Classic Rock MagazineDec 16, 2014Since 1983, The Melvins have been a wonderfully unstable constant on the rock fringes. Still fronted by Buzz Osborne of the explosion-in-a-mattress-factory hairdo, they continue to make good on that paradox with Hold It In. [Jan 2015, p.116]
