  1. 9.0 |   Exclaim

    At the heart of it, Morbid Stuff just still sounds like friends having fun and making catchy, cathartic punk anthems for teens and almost-adults alike — offering a brief, but much needed respite from the hell that is everyday life

  2. 9.0 |   Punk News

    Morbid Stuff is punk rock at its best. PUP has delivered something that achieves the rare feat of satisfying older fans while also leveling them up career-wise

  3. 9.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    It’s a complete thrill from front to back that manages to retain the band’s whacky nature while making some inspiring progressions forward. You can't get much closer to a modern punk classic than this

  4. 8.6 |   Gig Soup

    An album that matches despair with delight, in which the group evolve into an outfit unafraid to befriend disorder. It is loud, brash and unequivocally thrilling

  5. 8.5 |   Under The Radar

    Without doubt, one of the finest records of the year so far and—more importantly—an unflinching portrayal of what it means (and what it takes) to be human in this day and age

  10. 8.0 |   NME

    Positive punk is well and good, but sometimes you want to revel in the idiocy of it all. And on album three, Canadian punks PUP pogo towards the apocalypse

  11. 8.0 |   Earbuddy

    The number of hooks, leads, and subtle rhythm changes on here are nearly incomprehensible upon first listen

  12. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    The sound of Vancouver-based band PUP forging rousing, anthemic punk from the most jagged rocks mined from the depths of frontman Stefan Babcock's psyche

  13. 8.0 |   The 405

    A raucous record celebrating living your truth- even if it is death-obsessed and anxiety ridden. But with bombastic choruses and an energy that just doesn’t quit, PUP still lets the fun they have making music shine through

  14. 8.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    This is a miserable goddamn record
