  1. 9.0 |   musicOMH

    Off! are the premier, numero uno punk band in the world, and nobody else comes close

  2. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    With hardcore wandering down increasingly diverse paths across the past decade, there’s a shuddering thrill in the back-to-basics bruising of Dmitri Coats’ pulverising power chords

  3. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   All Music

    They're among the very best American punk bands of their day, and show there's plenty of snarling, howling life left in the beast after all these years

  5. 8.0 |   Uncut

    A surprisingly varied record. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   Q

    Chaotic and raw, exemplifies the best of US punk rock. Print edition only

  7. 8.0 |   The Music

    At an average playing time of around 90 seconds, their songs are longer than ever, so if OFF!’s impassioned, unadorned hardcore has turned you on before, it’ll turn you on again with Wasted Years

  8. 7.5 |   Consequence Of Sound

    OFF! prove that they can still lay claim to being the realest, rawest band in the land without handcuffing themselves creatively.

  9. 7.0 |   Beardfood

    It’s still gnarly, raw and fast, but we need a stronger dose for the same high now
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   NME

    A gleefully relentless thrashabout made up of 16 knee-in-the-nuts mini-ragers
    Read Review

  11. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    Off! has the potential to do so much more than just scrape by on the scraps of his past
    Read Review

  12. 6.2 |   Pitchfork

    Despite its scattered high points, it's hard not to think of Wasted Years as little more than the third most exciting OFF! record

  13. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Even amid the vitriol there’s vision, and an almost cloying affection for the moribund punk rock form
    Read Review

  14. 5.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Unlikely to appeal to a whole new legion of fans, but those already on-board should be happy with their order of ‘more of the same’
    Read Review

  15. 4.0 |   DIY

    It fulfils its remit with consummate ease and you'd be hard pressed to say it's unenjoyable
