    Given the metascore of 84 and the high user score, I had high hopes for this album... but I barely made it through one listen. It's quite possibly the worst album I've ever heard.

    Dense and demanding, Soused will not be topping the album charts. But it is the kind of obliteratingly intense, glamorously weird avant-metal epic that Lou Reed and Metallica never made. [Nov 2014, p.94]

    The result lack some of the swarming, piercing detail and vertiginous shifts that give so much drama to late Scott. At the same time, it mostly does away with that haunts latter-day songs. [Oct 2014, p.51]

    A powerful mix of dramatic, slow-moving sound and Walker melodies and narratives. [Nov 2014, p.99]
