  1. 9.1 |   A.V. Club

    Brooks has set a new personal best for what he’s been doing for almost 20 years: turning pop anthems into earthmovers

  2. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    These Floridian sludgers know the inherent joy in noisy creation, and choose to relay it with sheer strength instead of bile or melodrama

    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   BBC

    Torche have found the great songs to match their extraordinary sound
    Read Review

  6. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Harmonicraft shows Torche at the height of all that they can continue to achieve: wielding their metal credentials within the realms of pure, vibrant rock melodies

  7. 7.5 |   Prefix

    Torche have managed to shove their guitar work into unexpected places that balance limber melodicism with punishing heft
    Read Review

  8. 7.5 |   The Quietus

    Harmonicraft often strays into pastiche when they attempt to cling on to their past, but comes into its own when it strides confidently into new realms. No-holds-barred flamboyance is what Torche do best now

  9. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    It’s the product of a band building upon past efforts rather than rehashing them
    Read Review

  10. 6.5 |   Pitchfork

    Harmonicraft is not without its moments; its just that, sometimes, spans of monotony and predictability make remembering or caring for those moments more work than they're worth
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    Their light efforts don't uphold the early promise
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    It impresses through the largeness of its sound and the joy with which it is made. Even if there isn’t all that much to chew on or digest, Harmonicraft is nevertheless a treat
