  1. 9.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Another essential Melvins record

  2. 8.0 |   Prefix

    Instead of simply pumping out works that they know would satisfy their core of diehards, with Freak Puke, they continue to embody the creatively restless heart of independent experimental rock. Don't let the "Lite" fool you

  3. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    Sharpening their album with Dunn’s teeth, Osbourne and Crover (perhaps unintentionally) realize versatility as contenders in the avant-garde
    Read Review

  4. 7.0 |   All Music

    Freak Puke is something you haven't heard before and, also like most Melvins albums, it's probably something you should

  5. 7.0 |   Spin

    Tireless loudsters and an upright-bowing Trevor Dunn siphon their gloomy energy into evil cocktail jazz

  6. 6.7 |   Pitchfork

    Represents a band that's always in motion doing what it's always done: trying a crazy idea, releasing and reveling in the results and, before long, likely moving along to the next instantaneous notion

  7. 6.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Dunn’s enigmatic stand-up bass is the project’s twist and he’s there at every turn, be it helping to drive the track addictively forward with groovy finger-circling patterns or merely playing the fool

  8. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Dunn's sometime avant-classical approach to the strings ... add interest to the normal Melvins template, but overall this is business as usual
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    A fairly fulfilling end to a very scattershot record that confuses just as much as it impresses
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Freak Puke can sit proudly in the Melvins canon
