  1. 9.5 |   The Quietus

    Everything about this album is hideously punishing... yet beautiful. It's not often an album of such stature exceeds one's anticipations, but Honor is too astounding to not be revered

    These are cathedral sized songs, recorded to get lost within

  3. 8.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    While lacking the immediate and defining qualities of their previous releases, the album still manages to outclass its peers in almost every regard

  4. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Craggy riffs are swathed in misty synthesiser. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Neurosis have once again turned darkness into euphoria

  6. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Honor Found in Decay‘s emotional complexity ensures it remains resoundingly heavy, with unguarded truth being just as important as thick atmospherics or colossal riffs

  7. 8.0 |   Spin

    The group's latest evolutionary step in a progression that would impress even Darwin

  8. 8.0 |   Tone Deaf

    Seven songs of heavy ambient sludge creating an hour of musical bliss

  9. 7.9 |   Pitchfork

    It's become common to refer to Neurosis as post-metal, as if the band had outgrown the primal allure of the riff. Honor refutes that idea. It's a record that proves these grizzled artisans still know how to flex their muscle

  10. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Neurosis have attained the position of the grandees of post-metal, and provided they continue to consistently produce records of such obvious quality, no matter how homogeneous and self derivative they may sound, it’s hard to see them giving up that crown any time soon

  11. 6.7 |   A.V. Club

    At its best, Neurosis’ music evokes ancient rhythms, futuristic rituals, and an almost pagan grounding in the pulse of the elements

  12. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Fans won't be disappointed by Honor Found In Decay, and I imagine the overall critical reception will be warm, but questions will remain as to whether Neurosis could have done just a little bit more with this

    An excellent return. Print edition only

Wet Leg  moisturizer

After winning multiple Grammys and Brits, the Isle of Wight band explore love and sexuality on their second LP – but there’s still room for some barbed put-downs The Guardian

Wet Leg  moisturizer

Wet Leg’s balance of danger and relaxation pays off in this turbulently fun listen. Excitingly crafted and dangerously sharp, moisturizer is the sound of someone rolling their eyes at how lovesick they’ve become, then shrugging before seeing how far it’ll take them Northern Transmissions

Gwenno  Utopia

Utopia is different from her previous work not just because of the language shift, but because of how it was made. Instead of starting electronically, Gwenno composed most of these songs on piano, recording live with her band in her living room. That choice gives Utopia organic warmth. The human touch is evident in how the instruments breathe together Northern Transmissions
