  1. 8.2 |   Beats Per Minute

    Gas Lit is an important record from an important band. It doesn’t attempt to make things palatable for you, and nor should it. The record is a provocation to a difficult conversation, one that in all honesty shouldn’t really still have to take place in 2021

  2. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    May be pitched at fans of James Baldwin, Octavia Butler, and Toni Morrison, but – whisper it – it is also a really good sludge record

  3. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Divide and Dissolve do a great job of releasing the demons—not the ones of dreams we've just left but the nightmare that begins in the morning living in a world governed by economic racism and the daily grind.

  5. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Dissonant yet heavenly, Gas Lit is an album that seethes, soothes, liberates and bewitches in equal measures. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

  7. 7.0 |   All Music

    Creating an atmosphere that's brooding, anguished, and at times ecstatic, Divide and Dissolve communicate their righteous outrage in a way that doesn't require words to be explicit and effective

  8. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Their conceptual hinterland is sometimes more interesting than their clobbering racket, but both are exhilarating in places. Print edition only
