  1. 8.0 |   Clash

    The esoteric references and obscure yet richly ominous beats are food for thought in a musical genre trying to drag itself out of a rut.

  2. 8.0 |   Observer Music Monthly

    Back to his scalpel-tongued, scatter-mouthed best.

  3. 8.0 |   Pitchfork

    The more time you spend with Born Like This, the less the flaws actually feel like flaws and more like interesting diversions.

  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    The reliance on sound-effects and skits will always divide opinion. Some may argue that extracts and 'distractions' like Bukowski ruin the continuity, while others might say they set the tone.

  5. 7.0 |   Spin

    More a series of word puzzles than a memoir, it does occasionally illuminate the man behind the mask.

  6. 6.0 |   The List

    Filled with flashes of the kind of brutal, cruel magic that singles DOOM out as a unique musical force.

  7. 6.0 |   NME

    Doom can become one-paced. Like all introverted potheads, you sometimes wish he’d find the remote and put some trousers on.

  8. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    A damn fine record, but it’s too inconsistent to do more than simply satisfy your DOOM craving.
