Sep 24, 2015A welcome return for Faith No More. Sol Invictus opens with an obligatory piano ballad, only to collapse into a barrage of intense and flavoursome tracks that could even rival the likes of Angel Dust's best.

Jul 28, 2015A great return from the Californian group, showing that time didn't consumed their strength nor their creativity. The songs are great and they blend elements from Angel Dust and new ones in the most natural way. Highlights include 'Black Friday', 'Sunny Side Up' and 'Superhero'.

May 31, 2015This is solid Faith No More. Not quite up there with The Real Thing or the excellent Angel Dust but still good. It slots in quite nicely after King For A Day and Album Of The Year. Worth a listen at least.

May 27, 2015Great album. Takes a little while to grow on you if you're not familiar with their previous records. Key tracks are Sunny Side Up, Black Friday and ****

May 20, 2015There seems to be a refined precision and maturity with this album. Sol Invictus is a brilliant album from a very influential band. I was a little on the young side when their older albums were released so it's kind of cool to be able to have a new one now that I can force on my friends. Definitely high up on my list of favorites from 2015.

May 19, 2015It's got that signature Patton sound with elements of Angel Dust & King For A Day. Tracks like "Rise Of The Fall" & "Black Friday" sound like a blend of Patton's numerous side projects.

The WireJun 5, 2015Sol Invictus is a looser, more relaxed record than its predecessors, occasionally dropping into a lounge ballad mode that suits Patton's vocals. [Jun 2015, p.52]
-
MagnetJun 4, 2015This album finds Patton in his glory. [No. 120, p.55]

May 26, 2015Add curveballs such as From The Dead, a plangent alt. country anthem, and it all adds up to the logical follow-up to 1997’s Album Of The Year. It’s like they’ve never been away.
