  7. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Visions of Bodies Being Burned is Clipping at their most macabre and monstrous
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    It’s a sharpening of the ideas introduced on Addiction to Blood, performed with clipping.’s classic graveness which only supports how scary this album can be

  9. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    hey have reinforced the fact that killer hooks and cathartic, emotional passages can be found in the most obscure, creepiest of places. This is an essential album in their discography – not just the material that didn’t make it onto their last effort

    Visions of Bodies Being Burned picks up directly where Addiction to Blood left off, with material written around the same time serving as the second volume of their deep dive into horrorcore

  11. 8.0 |   Mojo

    "Do you like scary movies?" asks rapper Daveed Diggs, several tracks in. Your answer will define your response to what marks clipping.'s finest refinement yet of their abrasive horror-rap. Print edition only

  12. 8.0 |   Clash

    ‘Visions of Bodies Being Burned’ is everything wrong, and right, with the world distilled into 52- minutes of absurdist hip-hop. We’ve never had it so good!

  15. 6.6 |   Paste Magazine

    The experimental rap trio dives into horrorcore, but they come off more as students of the genre than leaders
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   Pitchfork

    The sequel to There Existed an Addiction to Blood extends the trio’s bristly noise and gory horrorcore rap with a sense of terror that’s more academic than frightening
    Read Review

  17. 4.9 |   Beats Per Minute

    Where There Existed an Addiction to Blood seemed to take the listener down a spiral of harsh violence and vaguely interconnected moments of supernatural terror, Visions of Bodies Being Burned just feels lost
