Remarkably composed and perfectly balanced, demonstrating Torche's ability to continually refine their doom-pop/melodic hard rock approach

Restarter is not the sound of a band starting with a blank slate it is more akin to an artist simply darkening their palette briefly

Torche is just Fun Metal, as buoyant as it is heavy, as sweet as it is sludgy, as toe-tapping as it is head-banging

Torche achieve magnetism as a band that lumbers and roars in unison, instead of manic, flashy guitars or songs that seem in a hurry to reach an end

It also establishes Torche as one of the most consistent, openhearted acts in metal

Torche goes deeper on Restarter, but they also round off some of the weird edges that make them such an interesting band

The Line Of Best Fit
In a live arena the sinister power that Restarter wields will thrill, but as a static piece it's dense beyond reason

No Ripcord
Restarter is still quite a strong sludge-metal album that can stand strong with many of their peers, but it’s sad to see them sacrifice much of what made them stand out so strongly from them in the process to merely become one of them
