  1. 8.0 |   Q

    Their boldest and best album for years. Print edition only

  2. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    [A] surprisingly good genre-crossover experiment
    Read Review

  3. 7.0 |   Spin

    Dubstep's slithering textures actually suit Davis' demented croon
    Read Review

  4. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    Overall quite an interesting and largely rewarding proposition
    Read Review

  5. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Feels culturally authentic and trendy, while at the same time, pounding enough for mosh pits and dance floors alike
    Read Review

  6. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    For the most part it's just the usual emotionally overwrought, rocket-propelled Korn fare, with a few beats stapled on as an afterthought, but it's not a disaster

  7. 6.0 |   NME

    Basically a string of hook-ups with the likes of dubstep betrayer Skrillex, are predictably patchy, but when it works, like on club stomper ‘Get Up!’, it really works

  8. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Metal and drum and bass sound like horrific bedfellows in theory but, surprisingly, this isn’t all bad
    Read Review

  9. 5.0 |   The Digital Fix

    A pretty flat record with little going for it; the majority of the tracks blur into one another in a haze of over-zealous digital mimicry
    Read Review

  10. 5.0 |   BBC

    Once the novelty of the squelching, space-aged din they’ve birthed fades, what’s apparent is how little Korn have to say for themselves these days
    Read Review

  11. 3.0 |   Prefix

    While the album certainly captures the youthful energy of the neo-dubstep sound, it still sounds quite dated
    Read Review

  12. 2.0 |   The Skinny

    Filled to buggery with pointless robot noises and ultrahardcore WUB WUB WUB-ines
    Read Review

  13. 1.0 |   No Ripcord

    Ugly and spectacularly stupid at the same time, and even more damningly, when compared to this year's other unlikely metal collaboration, it makes Lulu seem like the height of good taste
    Read Review

  14. 0.0 |   A.V. Club

    Davis and company have once again confronted themselves with the perplexing, existential dilemma: What is this Korn thing that we do? Too bad the answer is, they have no fucking clue

Haim  I quit

It’s easy to wonder if the soft-rock trio’s fourth record would be better if it were just a few songs — or, ideally, about 10-15 minutes — shorter Spectrum Culture

Hotline TNT  Raspberry Moon

By opening up the recording process to accommodate more people and more ideas, Hotline TNT embrace a different side of themselves on Raspberry Moon, one that feels warmer and more open-hearted while still retaining the fuzz and noise that made their early albums so bracing Spectrum Culture

U.S. Girls  Scratch It

While Scratch It lives up to its aged influences, Remy gives these nine tracks an undeniable immediacy, both with her singing and lyricism — which are eerily left of field — along with her spot-on taste in backing musicians and homage-motif Under The Radar
