Alternative PressSep 16, 2016TBS still manage to drive home those angst-filled undertones fans have both embraced and expected since the band's inception. [Oct 2016, p.90]

Sep 16, 2016This is not the first time the band has wiped the slate clean, but they’ve never sounded as focused or purposeful as they do right here and now. Tidal Wave may sound like a transition, but it feels like a resounding statement.
-
Sep 16, 2016The guys once known for writing songs about girls who paid them no mind in adolescence aren’t here any more. Instead they’ve learned from their past, creating an album that’s both eclectic and sensitive, not just one or the other.

Sep 20, 2016Heartfelt and nostalgic, it's Tidal Wave's less sonically charged cuts like "Homecoming" and "I Felt It Too" that resonate most deeply, suggesting that while time may not heal all wounds, it can certainly lessen the pain.

Sep 16, 2016For the most part, the rest of the album is less head-turning, which that can translate to forgettable. Still, it's about time Taking Back Sunday shook things up, so the high points make Tidal Wave an effort that should please dedicated fans and appease the sceptics somewhat, as well.

Kerrang!Sep 22, 2016For all its spells when it's thick with vitality and feeling, it rarely breaks free of being anything more than a good record, never an exceptional one. [24 Sep 2016. p.50]
