    The combination of Phil Anselmo on vocals and Marzi Montazeri on the guitar propels Phil Anselmo and the Illegals into the upper stratosphere of in your face metal. Anselmo is at his career peak on this album and is more than capable of giving Panteraesque growls, screams and injured wolf howling about his frustrations of life.

    It's an ugly brute of a record too, but one you can't stop looking out. [Sep 2013, p.100]

    While the songs are eclectic, they're all united by a shared sense of intensity. [13 Jul 2013, p.52]

    Self-produced with the assistance of Michael Thompson and recorded at Anselmo’s own Nodferatu’s Lair, an outsider’s ear may have been of great benefit to Walk Through Exits Only, as Anselmo’s aim for this album, though admirable, lacks the control and clarity of songwriting necessary to warrant repeat listens.
