  1. 9.0 |   No Ripcord

    This is the Alice in Chains we know and love, and grunge is certainly not dead

  2. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    The bitter melodies are as dirty as ever
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    Brooding, doomy riffs usher in soaring two-part harmonies which reiterate that, against some odds, Cantrell has found a worthy foil in co-vocalist William DuVall
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Alice in Chains have returned to the top of their game, confident and back on firm ground

  5. 7.4 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    A rock solid record that sees Alice In Chains settling in the confines of their own style

  6. 7.0 |   NME

    They may never recapture their ‘Dirt’-era majesty, but AiC’s second act is turning out very nicely indeed

  7. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    There’s no comeback, lineup reconfiguration, or memorial to be found here, only reminders of why an album from this band will always be welcomed

  8. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    The album is solid; in fact, there’s something very reassuring that Alice In Chains’ second act is nearly as vital as its first

  9. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    There's an indomitability about their mix of Sabbath vintage and 1990s Seattle scowl, but there are also water-treading workouts

  10. 6.0 |   All Music

    Alice in Chains are now firmly entrenched in their middle age and settling into what they do best

  11. 6.0 |   Q

    Sabbath-indebted sludge rockers' return continues. Print edition only

  12. 6.0 |   Spin

    Nothing sounds new, and yet it has no parallel in the old Alice catalog, because they were just so much weirder than we remember

  13. 5.9 |   Pitchfork

    Dinosaurs is a testament to how 90s alt-rock angst can translate meaningfully to middle age
