  1. 9.0 |   BBC

    Extraordinary enough to perhaps stand as this band’s greatest album yet
    Read Review

  2. 9.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    Even as they continue to lightly decorate their exterior with new ideas, their core sound has remained the same. So here’s to hardcore’s measuring stick and one of the greatest bands alive: long live the king

  3. 9.0 |   No Ripcord

    The sound of a legendary band coming to full terms with who they are, giving them the power to take everything that’s made them distinct and pushing those qualities as far as they can go in one unified statement
    Read Review

  4. 9.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Stands tall within Converge’s discography as yet another glowing example of how to make art out of aggression

  5. 8.6 |   Pitchfork

    There's never a dull moment across AWLWLB's 38 minutes. It's all peaks

  6. 8.5 |   Prefix

    The reason Converge succeeds once again is in their dogged commitment to treating their past as something to be lovingly acknowledged rather than a crutch

  7. 8.3 |   A.V. Club

    Solidifies Converge’s position as one of hardcore’s most progressive yet soulful stalwarts

  8. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It stands toe-to-toe with the best of the band's canon, and that means the best of modern metal

  9. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    The quartet are as feral yet meticulous as ever before

  10. 8.0 |   All Music

    Pure, unadulterated Converge, standing toe to toe with the band's best work
    Read Review

  11. 8.0 |   Spin

    There are enough tortured screams and catastrophic riffs strewn about this LP's 38 minutes to carry fans another three years
    Read Review

  12. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Proof positive that the incandescent flame of Converge’s fury is fully under their direct control, and because of this ability to harness their elemental power, the Converge of 2012 sound just as fearless and peerless as ever
    Read Review

  13. 8.0 |   Q

    Thrilling stuff. Print edition only

  14. 7.5 |   Tone Deaf

    A balls-to-the-wall record of chaotic hardcore that embraces the genre’s roots in thrash metal, yet addresses it’s many artistic divergences throughout its evolution
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   NME

    Though dependably abrasive, anthems of doomed youth just aren’t as brilliantly nihilistic when they sound like they’ve got AC/DC’s Angus Young on guitar
