  1. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Although this is an album that maintains the Melvins’ mischievous approach to their music, it is also very much homage to the music that they love and that has inspired them throughout the years

  2. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    It’s a thrill to hear such eccentric moments from pop music's past so liberally seasoned with Melvins' own madness

  3. 7.6 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    Despite the diversity of artists being honored in this album, the Melvins never stray too far from their own metal roots

  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    An odd little journey, but one worth making

  5. 7.0 |   Uncut

    A set that values hand-on-heart appreciation over novelty. Print edition only

  6. 7.0 |   The 405

    The idea alone is refreshing, and its off-kilter nature proceeds to evolve and reform on every listen

  7. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Everybody Loves Sausages exceeds every expectation for a covers album, especially one so far into a band’s career

  8. 6.5 |   Pitchfork

    The goofball virtuosity of these tracks is fun if not especially memorable

  9. 6.0 |   All Music

    It doesn't feel as though The Melvins are trying to recast these songs in their own style, but are instead playing them the way they hear them in their own heads

  10. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Some of the track choices seem obvious (Venom, The Fugs, Throbbing Gristle), others less so (The Kinks) but it's a fun collection

  11. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    Cult devotees of the band will be charmed by the contrived wackiness and should not at all find this release overly indulgent and hacky, but for those who are not too familiar with them, this is probably the worst starting point
