Jun 11, 2015Exuberant and energetic.
-
MojoJun 10, 2015The grown-up Ash remain every bit as irresistible as the pop-punk pups. [Jul 2015, p.87]
-
Jun 1, 2015This album provides ample proof that Ash’s embers still fizzle away and look likely so to do for some time yet.
-
Kerrang!May 29, 2015It sounds like Ash have never been away. [30 May 2015, p.53]
-
Jun 22, 2015What they lack in adolescent kick they more than compensate with savvy, smarts, and muscle, sounding like passionate survivors who are happy to fight for what they love in an era that takes such spirit for granted.
-
Jun 5, 2015Kablammo! had the potential to be grossly embarrassing for all concerned. Fortunately however it’s pretty much a triumph.
-
Jun 4, 2015A bit of filler, but mainly killer.
-
UncutMay 29, 2015For the most part, this is a short, sharp and generally satisfying voyage into Ash's heady past. [Jul 2015, p.71]
-
Jun 3, 2015While the longstanding fan may indulge them the odd misstep, it’s a little bit jarring when they produce something which by their own high standards is, dare I say it, a bit underwhelming.

Q MagazineMay 29, 2015The quality dips towards the album's close, but all told, this is a solid return to the fold. [Jul 2015, p.102]
-
May 29, 2015Ash still generate radio-friendly tunes on Kablammo!, but they lack the depth that they demonstrated at their peak, and sound a little like they're merely repeating their post-millennial releases at this point.
