  1. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    They didn’t bow out after mainstream’s apathy... instead they decided to stay together, to be a working man’s band – which means putting out unswervingly great albums at a (semi-) steady clip

  2. 8.5 |   BBC

    Vanishing Point proves the quartet is still a thrilling proposition, in love with the simplicity of mayhem and volume

  3. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    This is the sound of seasoned confidence, of a group who know exactly who they are, and what they do, and how well they’re doing it

  4. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    If anything, Vanishing Point is a vital lesson in how to do this growing-old-disgracefully lark right

  5. 8.0 |   The 405

    If they are in fact the true, understated flagship band of Generation X, they don't really care. But you should

  6. 8.0 |   All Music

    No outright surprises sonically, but beneath the roar it's hard not to admire how their perennial piss-takes are subtly deepening and how their saturated superfuzz always sounds so good

  7. 8.0 |   Mojo

    The group's B-movie R&B is leaner and lairier than ever. Print edition only

  8. 8.0 |   Q

    Who tops Vanishing Point for psych-punk thrills these days? Print edition only

  9. 8.0 |   NME

    Mudhoney drink from the familiar well of Iggy on their 9th album with outrageously enjoyable results

  10. 8.0 |   Uncut

    They remain as angry as they were all those years ago. Print edition only

  11. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    That Vanishing Point is such a vibrant and quintessential Mudhoney album makes it a real triumph

  12. 8.0 |   The Scotsman

    Vanishing Point is another mean but never nasty, irreverent yet blessed dispatch of garage rocking abandon

  13. 7.4 |   Pitchfork

    The difference between Mudhoney in 2013 and the Mudhoney of old is that what once seemed highly flammable is now reassuring

  14. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Vanishing Point is the Mudhoney sound through and through. It’s like Jimi Hendrix playing leads for the Stooges, trying to make the end result sound far more boneheaded than it really is

  15. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    Echoes of former glory aside, much of Vanishing Point sinks into soupy listlessness

  16. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Vanishing Point delivers two primary messages: Mudhoney is still pretty damn good at being Mudhoney, and being Mudhoney isn’t as easy as you might suspect

  17. 6.0 |   No Ripcord

    As a cult band that has been going for years, who are Mudhoney making records for? Themselves and for the fans. If you don’t like them, it’s not for you

  18. 4.0 |   DIY

    There's little doubt that Mudhoney intend this to be an obtuse, difficult listen but its lackadaisical approach leaves it feeling toothless rather than effortlessly cool

  19. 3.5 |   Under The Radar

    Think Ash covering Nirvana and you'll have an idea of just how bad an idea this album is
