  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    Dead End Kings is uncompromising in its musical excellence, bleak vision, and dark, hunted beauty, and extends Katatonia's sonic reach exponentially

  5. 8.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

Latest Reviews

Tune-Yards  Better Dreaming

These 11 songs brim with images of armed men, noxious air and entitled egotists, intermingled with notions of self-liberation and community solidarity. But the sonics too often seem stuck in Garbus's past. Print edition only Mojo

Tune-Yards  Better Dreaming

They're following their "first thought" instincts while allowing space for the full expression of Garbus's mighty soul voice. Print edition only Uncut

Billy Nomates  Metalhorse

Altogether, with added depth and melody, it’s Maries’ best yet. Print edition only Mojo
