Reviews / Album

"Frontman Dave Mustaine's knack of writing memorable riffs and lasting melodies (which has deserted him of late) seems to be back."

"This album feels like a band trying on clothes from their older sibling's cupboard."

"The Waiting Room is easily the equal of their finest work."

"Garden and San Diego benefit from the rickety instrumentation and frayed harmonies, but for the most part it gets tired."

It Lies Within are about seven years late to the party and missed the memo.

"This album is the sound of a break-up that is still happening in slow motion, with none of the closure or hindsight."

"For anyone even vaguely interested in angry music, the 2016 benchmark has been set."

"On his very first solo album Abbath proves that he was the songwriting heart of Immortal."

"It's a curious twist for the initiated, and a lesson in bitter as coal songwriting for newbs."
